Bahai Gardens.
The Bahá'Ã- Faith is a religion teaching the essential worth of all religions, and the unity and equality of all people.Established by Bahá'u'lláh in 1863, it initially grew in Iran (Persia) and parts of the Middle East, where it has faced ongoing persecution since its inception. Currently it has between 5 and 7 million adherents, known as Bahá'Ã-s, spread out into most of the world's countries and territories.
Bahá'Ã- gardens, alson known as The Terraces of the Bahá'Ã- Faith, or the Hanging Gardens of Haifa, are garden terraces around the Shrine of the Báb, where the remains of the Báb, founder of the BábÃ- Faith and forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh in the Bahá'Ã- Faith, have been buried.
Beginning at its base, the gardens extend almost a kilometer up the side of Mount Carmel, covering some 200,000 square meters of land. The gardens are linked by a set of stairs flanked by twin streams of running water cascading down the mountainside through the steps and terrace bridges.

So....we just got back from a trip to Israel, mainly Haifa, but we also went to Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea. It was a really great trip, but now I have sooo much work to make up.

Haifa (Hebrew : H̱efa)
Israel’s third largest city and one of its prettiest, Haifa has a lot to offer visitors. It has the country’s largest port, a particularly active beach and is the home of the World Center of the Bahai Faith. Surrounded by abundant nature sites, the city contains an interesting mix of modern neighborhoods and older districts; churches and mosques; mountain and sea.
Haifa is a multi-faceted city with several unique characteristics making it an attractive place to visit. Its proximity to the sea and its active port contribute to its prominence. The bustling port area draws merchants, shoppers and tourists. The beautiful beaches are popular for sports and recreation, and are filled with people during summer weekends. In addition, because of their excellent surfing conditions, the beaches serve many of Israel’s top sailing enthusiasts and host sailing competitions and other sporting events.
With residents from the three largest religions as well as from various minority faiths, Haifa is also a symbol of outstanding co-existence and tolerance.
