Notably:The American-born son of Lebanese immigrants, Samer Abouhamad left Lebanon for the United States in 1984, two years after the most recent Israeli invasion that claimed 18,000 lives, a year after the bombing of the French and American barracks in Beirut, and a year after Reagan’s redeployment from a crisis that Reagan, like Trump today with Ukraine, believed he could end. According to 961 FlaglerLive in Lebanon, Samer’s mother is famous photographer Rahi Matar. Samer received his degree from Wake Forest University. He was 28 years old and living in New York, where he was confined by COVID, when he returned to Lebanon shortly after the port explosion on August 4. He offered to assist. He then set out to rediscover it by riding his bike across the nation. Then he made the decision to ride a bike to Patagonia from Boston. Then, in a condensed version of Heinz Stucke’s 600,000-mile cycling odyssey spanning 50 years, he made the decision to ride a bicycle around the world. Samer completed 70,000, documenting the entire experience on Instagram (handle: lion.samer). In 2022, he began.Week 1: 5 states (MA, CT, NY, NJ, and PA) and 431 miles. A week ago, I left home. In my sleeping bag, I’m penning this from a tent in [] an abandoned outdoor bingo fair. So far, everything is going well. I’ve spent three nights at people’s houses thus far, where they have fed and showered me despite the less than ideal weather. On the road, I sense that my strength and confidence are growing every day. Even though I know I still have a long way to go, I’m feeling lazy today, so I’m going to spend a few more hours sitting in my tent before heading back out. The date of this was April 10, 2022. He was in Lebanon 61 nations later.last week.He reached the top of Qurnet-el-Saouda, Lebanon’s highest peak, which is located immediately above The Cedars at 10,100 feet. In his ideal American voice, he remarked, “I just like dreamed of this moment for so long.” I feel as though I’m truly here at this moment. So, it’s both amazing and frightening. You know, it’s like, what’s next? However, it’s fucking fantastic. He was choking. We’re all the same.Look below.

When the five bells sounded, Mays dredged up, instead of the memory he was after, a spontaneous tune from out of his old church hymnal: Now Thank We All Our God. He did not know that it had been the German national hymn, sung spontaneously by Berlin crowds on August 1, 1914, the day of mobilization. Nor could he imagine how it sounded on the clarinet. It was merely his way of giving thanks for the end of another thankless day.
