Breakfast at the Dan Carmel

The buffet breakfast at our hotel is just amazing. It's unlike any breakfast we've ever had, anywhere. A huge selection of cheeses, olives, vegetables, fruits, fresh-baked breads, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. I mean REALLY freshed-squeezed. You take an orange, cut it in half, and put it in this device that looks kind of like a drill press (okay, it's an orange press) and voila! Juice! Love it, love it, love it.

But, says Gary, he has to say that the scrambled eggs are for the birds. (Above -- double click to see larger photo.)

In other news, the jet lag has officially kicked in. We had a very full day of pilgrim-type activities including a talk by Hand of the Cause Mr. Varqa. But you're gonna have to wait for the details because we have hit the wall.

Tomorrow: Bahji. And in the meantime, he's one last photo to tide y'all over. The Shrine at noon.
