Baha'i Gardens

The Bahá'í Faith (Arabic: بهائية‎ Baha'iyyah)/bəˈhaɪ/^[1]) is a monotheistic religion emphasizing the spiritual unity of all humankind.^[2] Three core principles establish a basis for Bahá'í teachings and doctrine: theunity of God, that there is only one God who is the source of all creation; the unity of religion, that all major religions have the same spiritual source and come from the same God; and the unity of humanity, that all humans have been created equal, and that diversity of race and culture are seen as worthy of appreciation and acceptance.

Unfortunately, access to the gardens is restricted, and this is as close as we got.

Roman Theatre at Caesarea

Aqueduct Near Caesarea

Caesarea was built by King Herod to honor Augustus Caesar.  Just north of the city you can see the aqueduct built to carry water to the city.

Oh how I love a good aqueduct!

Bike Rental in Tel Aviv

I went down to the boardwalk to watch the sunset, but this is probably a more interesting shot. You can rent a bike for a17 shekel access fee which includes 30 minutes. 5 more shekels gets you another 30 minutes. That's about $5.50. 

Tel Aviv

This is a shot of Tel Aviv taken from Jaffa.

Jaffa

The old port town of Tel Aviv is called Jaffa. It is a picturesque town of shops built into old buildings, against the backdrop of the Mediterranean. This is called "gallery row".

We did a walkabout here before heading to our hotel in Tel Aviv. We're tired but it was great to stretch our legs.

Flight Delay

Thankfully we were only delayed an hour and made our connection in Toronto to Tel Aviv. After another 10 hour flight we have arrived safely!
