On Haifa

Marta: Today we saw Bahá'í gardens and the golden circles. From above we saw the whole city. We also were in the church Stella Maris and we saw the cave where Elias was probably hiding. I like this city because it is beautiful here.

Then we went to Jerusalem but we didn't get a chance to walk into the acient city because of some serious weather issues. We just got some quick photos of the unbelievably beautiful view of the town.    The rest of the day we spent in the coach traveling through the Negev desert and running away from the storm and once more we stopped to take some pictures of an amazing wonder of nature.
