Why the Blog?

These days everyone wants to travel the world. As kids and teens we dream about it. As adults we might often think about it, but never find the time. We dream, but few of us ever reach our goal. I am one of those few.
Soon, starting September 4 , my dad and I are going overseas to three places-Israel, Thailand and Prague, Czech Republic. Well, those are where our homes are going to be, but we will be traveling in Egypt, Sweden, and other places. We will stay in each place for about three months.
I am an eleven-year-old girl named Rachael. My father is Philip and my mother(who is not coming for the whole trip but is visiting) is Margie. In this blog I will keep you posted about events. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Bahai' Gardens

The other day Dad, Orit and Itzhak and I went somewhere really exciting. We went to the Bahai' Gardens, which is a garden, tomb and shrine for Siyyad Ali Muhammed – the Bab – a Muslim in Persia who proclaimed the coming of a "Promised One". It was so beautiful there, with the flowers, and the trees, and everything, as you can see above! We also got to go in his tomb. It was a room, and in the middle of the wall opposite the opening that you come through, was a doorway, but it had bars on it. In the room behind the bars were candles and a table, and I assume the dead body, but I'm not sure. You could see the Mediterranean Sea from in front of the shrine.
One thing in Israel that I can never get used to are the palm trees. I mean, I never thought I would get to go to the tropics and see palm trees, and here I am! Wierd, huh? Well, I'd better go and ask Dad if he can make dinner. Bye!
