The Fast

Its that time of the year again, when Bahá'ís all over the world observe the annual Fast. Because throughout the year we wake up at different times (Maarten is usually up earlier to go to work, and Menchie wakes up a bit later), this is actually a wonderful opportunity for us to have an early breakfast together in the morning. So far it's been going really well, and we're already beginning to approach Naw-Ruz, the beginning of the new year. A few evenings we had the opportunity to eat in the dining room in the International Teaching Centre as well. As every year, the kitchen staff have really done an amazing job cooking and providing that special fasting ambiance. We wish everyone an inspiring remainder of the Fast! Here's a photo taken from our balcony when the sun was just rising over the mountain.
