Drama, art and cooking today! October 16th

Today was busy with classroom activites. From finishing the art project to watching a drama lesson where the students were all really engaged and trying hard at the same time as having fun. 

Today's cookery lesson was English scones! The students had never had them before and were very keen to get their hands dirty to bake. The girls and boys were in direct competition with one another while preparing them. We managed to create some very tasty treats! 

The evening was eventful! I just happened to be in town for the grand event which was the launch of a new resort project in Beirut called Eden Rock resort. Reema kindly took me as a guest. A very lavish affair and lots of important people in Lebanon were present including the minister of tourism. 

After that Reema and I went for a lovely meal to an Italian restaurant in town....delicious!
