Harissa

Just north of Beirut at Harissa there's a statue of Mary.  People from all over Lebanon travel there to pray and take in the views of the city. To get there you have to take a cable car and an incline car, which is part of the fun of the trip. 

Beirut
The Beirut Port
At the top there is a food court and some stores, and then it's a short walk to the statue.
100 stairs in a spiral staircase lead to the statue. 
My purse was really heavy so Mikey carried it up for me.  Poor guy,
he was trying to be nice and helpful  but everyone was looking
at him like he was so weird with his big coral purse. 
The Statue of Mary
The views from the top are amazing. 

Cooper's favorite part of the day (other than eating all of my pasta at lunch and refusing to eat his) was the incline car ride.  His little 2-year-old life is an adventure every day...
