Cairo Never Felt So Good

I am amazed by the positive impact Dahab had upon my demeanor.  I feel so relaxed, positive, focused... so much that I am almost looking forward to going back to school in 3 weeks.  Well... almost.  Regardless, the 5 days spent laying in the sun, climbing mountains, and swimming in the red sea did a wonder for mind body and soul.   In addition to climbing around Mt. Sinai and snorkeling in the world famous 'blue hole,' I also ate an impromptu meal with some beduin, spent late nights looking at the stars, and wandered a medieval monestary that contains a suppossed descendent of Moses's burning bush.



















Standing in front of the burning bush... or at least its offspring.

Another part of the monestary.

 


Hey, we might be in Sinai, looking at the Red Sea, with the mountains of Saudi Arabia in the background, but I'm always thrilled to get a little bit of Cuba whereever it can be found.

Gotta love the rock formations on the mountain side...
