Our 1st Day Begins

We woke up at about 4:30 a.m. and finally decided to start our day at 5 or so. Looked out the window, expecting it to still be dark, and discovered it was dawn already.

Dawn on Mount Carmel. Just... wow.

And look what the dawn revealed! Right outside our window, there is the Baha'i World Center. From left to right are the Shrine of the Bab, the Archives building, the Center for the Study of the Texts, the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, and the International Teaching Center. Did we already say "wow!?" (Yeah, I thought so.) As always, double-click on the photo for a bigger version.

And here's another nice photo of the Shrine of the Bab, taken a few minutes later.
