Pilgrimage: Part III
Mmmmmm yummy felafels!!! Here we are with some really nice pilgrim friends! I loved them!!
Later, papa took me to the beach, while mama went to some pilgrimage program thingy... I dunno... all I know is, I LOVE THE BEACH!!!
We also went to Akka to visit the prison cell that Baha'u'llah stayed in... I didn't actually go in, but mama and papa took turns visiting it. It's ok, I enjoyed my time exploring.
Would you believe... friends of my parents had a dinner for us! They were so nice :) I spent most of my time though playing with Aliyah... she's a little older than me, .. but she brought me a cool toy to play with, so that kept us busy.
Pilgrimage: Part II
We went to Bahji to visit the Shrine of Baha'u'llah in the morning. I got to go inside the Shrine too! I was really quiet and walked up to the Threshold... I wasn't sure exactly where I was and why all the people inside were so extremely quiet, but I felt the serenity and enjoyed my short time there.
Afterwards, we went to the visitor's center for some tea and cookies.. except well, I didn't have any :( instead I socialized with the other pilgrims...
Later that day, we went back to Haifa and met with the Universal House of Justice!!! How cool was that!! They were really kind
Mama met an old friend of hers that she met when she went to Landegg in Switzerland... she was so surprised and happy!! Here we are walking with him. His name is Ravi Starr!! I like that name.

Highlights from our trip to Israel: Part 1
Sorry for taking so long to share our pictures with you all :) I've been keeping busy (and my parents busy). I think I've finally gotten over the jet lag though!
We had a great time on our Baha'i pilgrimage to Haifa, Israel! Although, travelling there and back was kinda rough. 15 hours there and almost 24 hours coming back!!!! Jeepers! We did a lot when we were there, but here are pictures of my favorite moments (the first couple of days).
We stopped in Herziliyya on our way to Haifa. I saw a big fish... but got too close.. and LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!
We went to Zozobra for dinner... mama and papa's favorite place to eat there!
When we got to Haifa it was fan-tabulous!! But all I could think of was sleep.. so I don't remember much. But later the next day we set off on our journey. Here's a picture of papa and me at Fattoush.. an Arab restaurant on Ben Gurion street.
The first couple of nights we had to hop from one place to another trying to find the perfect place to stay. This is what I didn't get enough of (pictured below).
We ran into many friends. Here is Masina from Samoa. I loved her.

Visit from Auntie!
This past month and a half has been quite busy I must say... so sorry to all you loyal blog readers :) Mama's had her hands full... I've been pushing her and reminding her EVERY DAY.. "mama, don't forget to update my blog.. mama... my blog!... MAMAAAAA"... but it was a futile attempt and my calls went unanswered :( Until now that is! So here's the first of many to recap our busy month.
First, so exciting... my auntie Farah from Virginia was able to fly here to visit fat little 'ol me :) She couldn't stop hugging and kissing me. But unfortunately.. it was bad timing, I came down with something called Roseola (apparently most toddlers get it). So I had a high temperture for the first 3 or 4 days she was here.... AND to top it off, the weather was horrible :( rainy and cold! Poor auntie, ... she'll just have to come back for another visit :) We tried to show her a good time anyways. So we took her to downtown Chicago and the Baha'i temple and even introduced her to Chicago style pizza at Giordano's! mmmmm... delish!! Thanks for visiting, auntie! And I promise next time will be more fun :)
