Pilgrimage - the first few days

Text to follow.

Sam and I shadowed on the Shrine of the Bab

Mom and Pop in the Carmelit station

Bahji Pilgrim Center, a view from the rear

Lemon tree in the courtyard behind the Shrine of Baha'u'llah

A succulent lovely at Bahji

Seat of the Universal House of Justice

Fountain on one of the lower terraces - probably number 9

The Shrine of the Bab

What used to be the Eastern Pilgrim House

On the terraces

Pop, Sam, and Anis taking a break on the way down

At the base of the Terraces

The Lower Terraces

View from the top, near the Upper Cave of Elijah

I couldn't take enough pictures of it

Laundry

A keyboard in three languages

The attention to detail is amazing - a watering experiment in progress

He was welcomed into the States with open arms. It was leaving Israel that was difficult. Though not due to the beard, presumably.
