Welcome Paul!

I am glad to welcome Paul, a very good friend of mine, as a contributor to the blog. Paul does hiking, trekking, climbing and country skiing to places I never knew existed in Lebanon or never thought they could be this beautiful. Hope you all will enjoy Paul's adventures and who knows maybe one day join him in one. I should warn you though it is no picnic as they are very demanding.
