| Judging by the location, this must be North Avenue Presbyterian Church.
I can't confirm it, however, as the church's web page doesn't seem to
have a picture of its building, nor does another picture of it exist on
the web.
| The Fox Theater. My guide books make a big deal about this old
"Moorish-Egyptian" building. To me, it seems like many other old
theaters; they're not hard to find in the bay area.
| Fox Theater's fancy entryway. You have to view the full-sized image to
see the details of the ceiling and candelabras.

| Mezza's bland entrance within a strip mall.
| Pita bread and olive oil dip. (Despite how dark the dip looks, covered
with spices or ground herbs, it's pretty much just olive oil.)
Artificially brightened.
| "al raee: smoked eggplant, diced tomatoes, onions and garlic dressed
with lemon juice and olive oil."
Artificially brightened.
| "Kibbi Balls: four fried balls of ground beef and cracked wheat mix
stuffed with a ground beef, onions and pine nuts mix."

A close-up of a kibbi ball, designed to show the contrast between the
texture of the thin shell and the meaty insides.

| "Beef Shawarma: lean tender thin sliced sirloin beef marinated in our
own spices cooked to perfection and topped with tahini sauce on a bed of
vermicelli rice."
Artificially brightened.
| Rice pudding with "rose water, miski (gum arabica), and apricot jam."
The little dots are ground pistachios.

Our spacious hotel room at the Best Western in College Park, south of
Atlanta.
(I switched hotels by this point to get a better deal.)
