Paris, France
The day after COP21, I was able to visit the
apartment at 4 avenue de Camoëns where 'Abdu'l-Baha, the son of the founder
of the Baha'i Faith, stayed when He first came to Paris in 1911. Temily and
Babak Tavangar from Hong Kong, who contributed to our activities at COP21,
were also in the group, along with some Baha'is from Mongolia. Afterwards we
walked in the Trocadero Gardens where 'Abdu'l-Baha often walked when He was
in Paris, and then had lunch together before I caught the train back to
Geneva.
