This is my room in the Fauzi Azar Inn, My room is the only room on the 3rd floor, and the cross breeze and view were delightful!

More views of the courtyard of the 200 year old mansion, the Fauzi Azar Inn. The granddaughter of the original owner now manages the Inn, and gave me two free breakfasts since it was my birthday!

This is the first course of my birthday dinner in the restaurant, "El-Reda," located in a 120 year old mansion. "Stolen Eggplant" is the dish, smoked with feta cheese, with a nice glass (or two!) of red.

The Basilica was a mob scene during the day, packed with large umbrella-waving tour groups, so it was a special treat to go at night and find the doors open. Me, Mary, and the rehearsing organist had it all to ourselves.

There was a strumming guitarist in the courtyard. Before long, the courtyard was filled with Italians there for a Saturday night candlelight sing-along. A nice end to a birthday!

The Greek Orthodox had a different theory on the Angel Gabriel's annunciation, that it took place while Mary was fetching water, not at her home. St Gabriel's church marks this spot.
