We spent the day wandering around town, visited a museum, stopped for coffee, lunch, and tea. As the day progressed, the weather improved which made us happy!
Morning coffee
The main post office building
Door
Interior of post office
Random mural
The former Holiday Inn, now the "Hotel Holiday" was the hotel where journalists stayed during the war. During that time there was no hot water or electricity, and the hotel was hit by artillery fire and mortars on many occasions. It has been totally renovated since.
The main exhibition at the History Museum covers every day life under the siege. Families would often move everything into the most sheltered room of their apartment both for safety and to conserve heat.

The old ottoman market area
Another graveyard with many gravestones showing dates between 1992 and 1995
Narrow residential street
A little bit of country in the city

We just happened to see this sign and decided to go in thinking it was a cafe, but it actually was a tea shop.
So we had some tea!
