Located at the end of the small cafes by the ruins is a tourist shop that sells a variety of items. The most interesting thing available are the t-shirts. When I asked the woman there to tell me all that it said, she suddenly grew flustered and wouldn't tell me. I kept asking and she kept blushing, telling me all of the sudden she didn't understand (yeah right!). I got the ol' "me no speak" line from her and it became a joke with everyone working there. Part of it says something along the lines of "Hizbollah is victorious". The rest I will find out when I am able to show my Arab friends. No doubt it says something like Death to America. And yes I did buy one...I have a collection of interesting "souvenirs" from around the world.
