Pilrimage Day 2, February 3, 2009 Part 2

Inside the Bahji Visitors Center, a pleasant place to relax before and after visiting the actual Shrine, there is a cafeteria where I got out our lunch: heavy whole wheat bread, creamy feta cheese. The Center served exquisite sweet, fragrant, juicy oranges and grapefruit, tea with Persian sugar, milk, small cookies. I ate two oranges and two grapefruits [we had skipped breakfast to be on time.] The fruit is grown here, I am certain.

On the return bus trip we rode in front and spoke with our guide for the outing, Marcia. The group was instructed to meet at 2 PM to meet our guide for all our expeditions for the first time. At the PRC we ate lunch part two; more bread and cheese, pickled mushrooms, the delicious skinny Israeli cucumbers; tea and sugar, dates, and a carrot for dessert. There is a resting room downstairs in the PRC and I napped, awaking at 2 sharp.

Our guide imparted some information, then we walked to the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, where we met with eight of the members, Enayat informing each one about Sobhani Meditation; me imparting to them the great love and adoration we hold for the Institution and its members.

We took a sherut to Carmel Center, developed film, ate a felafel. I discovered I was too tired to attend the presentation in the evening. Enayat was up between 0130 and 0230 trying to phone the United States.
