Today we went to Haifa. Haifa is very open and tolerant to different religions and thoughts, unlike Jerusalem which is almost all Ultra Orthodox (Haredi). There is a Ba'hai Temple that is the most beautiful gardens in the world, but they wouldn't let us into it and the Temple itself is under construction so its gold dome was covered up. We tried going to 2 very cool museums about the Israeli navy and illegal ship immigration but they were closed. We went up and down of cable cars to the top of Mt. Carmel and it was a beautiful view and a little scary! We had drinks and lunch at a restaurant right at the top, so beautiful! To finish off our day, we went to the beach and climbed on the rocks. It was coarse sand and felt like quick sand - I don't know how those people swam to shore from ships 1 mile off at sea!
