I had the best breakfast in the world this morning. We bought "ka3kit knefi". It basically is like croissant with sesame seeds on top, filled with melted cheese and simple sugar and rosewater syrup and smeed (i have no idea what it's called in English and Google is not helping me!).
Uncle Walid showed us the historic/childhood side of 3aley. Him and my dad and most of the Haddad family were all born and raised here, but when the Civil War happened in early 1980s, they all ran away to the north side of the country (where I live now). So he showed us my dad's childhood home and his elementary/middle school. His house was burnt and destroyed in the war, so no one lives there now. The construction on the outside is still in tact but the inside is heartbreaking.
This used to be a window. The end cuts off at me and Dee's waists. Everything below was blown up because a bomb was thrown into the house. SO SAD.

This used to be my grandpa's little spice shop. It's been shut since the war.
This is Emilio's elementary/middle school with the nuns.

Ok, so my uncle told me that in the small painted parking lot (next to the yellow and blue stripes, behind the big building) is where they test you for your driving license. The only thing they want you to do is move forward, move backward, park, oh and here's your license.
When we were done, my uncle was driving down the main road of 3aley and said: "Let's show you girls the American side of 3aley. Here's Krispy Kreme, Subway, KFC, Burger King, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and Starbucks." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
