Today we went to the Baha'i gardens in northern Israel, Haifa. We had lots of fun learning about the Baha'i faith and the history of the gardens. As we walked through the 18 terraces of the garden, representing the founding members of the Baha'i faith, we saw a various amount of plants and wildlife. I noticed that the garden was symmetrical on both sides. The garden flowed continually with waters on either side of the 18 flights of stairs which total to about 700 stairs. At the bottom of the ninth flight of stairs laid a shrine of the second creator of the Baha'i faith. Today, Bahai people can be found all over the world.
NOTE: Melanie and Lauren said they plan on having their wedding there...they just have to find Israeli husbands!
