Caesarea and Haifa

Moon rising over Tel Aviv.
We left the beautiful city of Tel Aviv today and then we visited Caesarea, which was built by Herod the Great.  Caesarea is one of Israel’s most important archaeological sites.  We had lunch at a restaurant at Caesarea, Helena’s, and it was another great meal. 


After lunch, we went to the gardens of the Baha’i Faith.  It is a truly beautiful piece of property.  For those in Sarasota that might read this, no it has nothing to do with the Baha’i Hut, which is a restaurant in Sarasota.  The gardens we saw are the resting place of the Bab, the founder of the faith.

We then went to our hotel in the German section of Haifa and will have dinner at a local restaurant.
