The weekend before Christmas I woke up to my phone ringing. "Look outside, the weather's nice. Let's go to Haifa!" Noah announced over the phone. Within an hour we were headed to the Central Bus Station and on our way to Haifa.
Haifa had been on my go to list for awhile. It has two of my favorite things: mountains and the coast. Plus as a bonus it also has religious significance as the center of the Baha'i faith. So we decided to take the afternoon to explore the city, take in the sights, and visit the Baha'i temple.

The temple has an insane amount of beautiful gardens that wind up and down the side of Mount Carmel.
A picture Noah took of me walking around the streets of Haifa trying to find entrances into other parts of the gardens.

We only had time to spend a few hours there, but the city was gorgeous and we enjoyed some amazing food and gelato during our mini adventure. Although we only got a brief taste, it was an awesome trip and definitely a place I would have loved to spend some more time exploring.
