What a shock!<br /><br />Those gardens are open to the public for a limited time each day, if I recall correctly, and we were not there during that time. Other than that they are open only to members of the Baha'i faith. At night the gardens are lit up. They are said to be very beautiful when lit.<br /><br />We were part of a tour. We were fortunate as we had an excellent guide. We also had an excellent driver. The two had never worked together before but they made a good team. The guide said he was going to do whatever he could to work with that driver as much as he could.<br /><br />We have many more photos. I posted some on Facebook already. It will probably be awhile before we can get the good ones posted. <br /><br />I am glad you liked the photos, Florrie.RadioMattMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279791190310394287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409030829512383.post-28135016173741198462015-07-11T00:41:04.049-05:002015-07-11T00:41:04.049-05:00Heh, there are even a few stairs on the clock towe...Heh, there are even a few stairs on the clock tower :-)floranistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785282868515567825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409030829512383.post-50752776394945359482015-07-11T00:40:11.677-05:002015-07-11T00:40:11.677-05:00Oh how I would love to see the Bahai Gardens!

That prison, brrrr, those small windows (and lack of windows, really) are terrifying. Did you two have a planned agenda for your trip there or did you play it more by ear? Inquiring minds want to know!<br />Hard to pick a favorite but I definitely love the 9th picture "another building in Jaffa" with that rustic balcony and fabulous doors! Like something out of Middle Earth!! I didn't know Akko was Acre.<br /><br />I'm glad you and Fay had such a great trip (except for her accident, of course). Great post, Matt, thank you.floranistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785282868515567825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409030829512383.post-43413793987559591942015-07-10T21:57:10.474-05:002015-07-10T21:57:10.474-05:00Probably the most well known prisoner held in the ...Probably the most well known prisoner held in the citadel of Acre (Akko) by the British was Moshe Dayan.
