Beirut

 For the Kuwait National Day holiday, we took a trip to Beirut. Traveling with a baby is definitely a departure from our normal routine.  Our travel days now revolve around Cata's schedule. We get out once or twice a day between naps. It was usually enough time   to wander around a new place for a few hours and enjoy some fantastic Lebanese food.  We enjoyed Beirut's corniche and neighborhoods with great food and hip bars.

We no longer do much research before some of our travel. Consequently, we were surprised to stumble across some partially excavated Roman ruins bordered by both a Mosque and Marionate Church (Eastern Roman Catholic) right in the middle of the city.

We did take a short day trip to the city of Byblos. It was a bit touristy, but we were told has been continuously inhabited for the last 7000 years.
