A stop at (and adventure into) Beaufort Castle, Lebanon 🇱🇧 

I served as a UN peacekeeper at the very end of the Lebanese civil war. And back then, the castle was an artillery and troop base for the so-called South Lebanese Army (DFF = De Facto Forces in UN language). An Israeli-backed Christian militia. We were not able to see that castle up close, but I do dream of being able to take my children on a trip to south Lebanon, and the castle is one of those stops on my wish list.
