At the end
of September, we went to Mt. Sinai with a group from Dar Camboni. These
are the photos, but you can read more about the trip in my September
newsletter
What do you do
when your bus breaks down in the desert?
Hover in the shade or hike
to a roadside cafe!
The
cafe gave us a chance to sit in the shade and get some cold drinks.
Some decided to try smoking sheesha, a popular pastime in Egypt
U-haul has not yet
made it to Egypt
An afternoon at
the Red Sea...sandbar football, anyone?
Our game even
attracted some new Egyptian friends who wanted to join in!
Ahh...the beauty
of the Red Sea. Maybe we could live here instead of going back to
Cairo.
Before the hike
<--------
After a cold, sleepless night on the
mountain
------->
Despite our
fatigue, sunrise atop Mt. Sinai was a beautiful way to start the day!
It's
a long way down ~ I can't believe we were all the way up there!
After a long walk
(or camel ride for some), we arrived back at St. Catherine's monastery,
home to the famous burning bush
Panoramic
view of the world (or at least the Sinai peninsula) from the top of Mt.
