We thought we were quite brave going up in the cable car to Harissa with a baby. This tin bucket looks scarier.

Haha! Funny you mentioned being nervous to ride the Teleferique; when we rode it over the holidays we also noted the complete lack of safety warnings, waivers, and official notices and the casual manner of the operators.

Yes it was beautiful, thanks!! We’re already counting down the days until our summer trip…
Pierre Khoury is the name of the architect of that church…
felt like adding my bit of trivia, but he just happens to be one of my favorite Lebanese architects.
Your trivia is most welcome. The view from above shows the ‘cedar’ form I believe, as you can see in the map top right.
