We took a day and descended the Terraces. It took about 4 hours because we stopped on each of the 19 levels to say prayers for the individuals we were dedicated a particular terrace to. It was such a wonderful experience. A friend from my my high school days at Maxwell, Celina, joined us for the journey. Usually walking half the Terraces, from the top to the Shrine of the Bab would take us about 25 minutes, if that puts our pace in perspective.
This was the only time on our entire journey I used the 70-200mm F/4 lens, so I've put quite a few photos here that were taken from similar locations as from previously images, but giving a more intimate perspective.

Finally reaching the bottom, the security was away and we were locked in for a little while. Once out, we explored the bottom of the mountain.
