Traveling the World

This picture was taken on a beautiful cloudless day in the bayside city of Acre, also known as Akko. Across the bay from Acre is the city of Haifa. I was standing on the side of the road looking down upon the beautifully kept Bahai Garden, the most sacred plot of land the Bahai faith owns.

The Bahai is called a religion, yet I personally believe it is more so a way you could live your life, like Taoism or Confucianism. The Bahai are a small group of peaceful people who don’t believe in drinking or smoking. They believe in the unity of all peoples, something I think we all should subscribe to. Like Muslims are meant to travel to Mecca once in their lifetime, followers of Bahai are meant to take a year out of their life to spend in Israel tending to this garden.
