We went to the top of the original city during the first week of March 2020
with some friends. They hadn't been up there yet, and we always enjoy going
for the history and the view. They took their two kids and we took Keira.
Only a few people live up there now while it is being restored,
but people still visit up there every day, walking the streets and looking around
It was crammed full of interesting items.
Keira is always a popular attraction. You can see the men behind her,
The old city really is built higher than you think.
so we were pleased to walk out to this warm glow hitting us.
The old bazaar was just below us. I've shown you
other pictures of it here when Karis' friend came to visit.
Some of my favorite parts of the bazaar are the crafts on these steps.
They are so colorful!
You'll see them again when I post Kylie's graduation photos,
because she took some of them down here in the old city.
looking at her, while she looks at me.
Some of the many carpets and bags for sale..
Pomegranate and pomegranate juice are some of my favorites,
ESPECIALLY when someone else does the work of peeling the fruit for me!
Civilization built on top of civilization for a few thousands years
resulted in where it is today.
