The first time TW and I were shocked by the site of the Baha’i Temple was when we were here house hunting, in April ’08. I say shocked because there are a lot of Chicago travel guides that will tell you stuff like…
don’t run off the road when you see it… you come around the corner and there it is… and there’s a shock factor….
It’s true. You know it’s coming, but it surprises you. Every time.
I never really thought about going to visit it, on purpose. Getting out. Walking around. Looking inside. I mean it seemed cool but I just wasn’t compelled to visit.
Thankfully, my mom wanted to go.
It is one of the coolest buildings I’ve ever visited. It’s hard to explain why. You just have to go. Walk the gardens. Go inside. Look. Listen. Think. Just do it.
