Nagi Day by Chris Miller

Nagi Day, aptly named for our gracious host on our last day in Lebanon, was exactly what the good doctor ordered. Nagi took the team out on his boat in the Mediterranean Sea. Viewing the beautiful city of Beirut from this perspective was a new experience for us. We took several team photos with our home newspaper’s travel section in hopes of getting published. Our obvious goal is to tell the folks back home how wonderful the people and culture are in Lebanon.

Nagi Day was not just a relaxing day on the boat and beach. It was a perfect opportunity for candid conversations, sharing of ideas, and lots of fun. Regina drove the boat (at mach speed) while several of us took advantage of the bouncy diving platform. The food and fellowship were superb.

As we close our time in Lebanon, one cannot help but reflect on what we have seen and learned. Lebanon is a country in transition, resilient like its people. I have never met people who enjoy life and make the best of any situation like the people we have met here. What a beautiful country, and thank you Nagi for Nagi Day.
