Day 13: Death.
I had a discussion with Mom before going to bed. It began with me asking how Moses fit into the timeline of the bible, and going back to the whole he was hallucinating in the desert, and I eventually reached the conclusion that the bible is a work of fiction written by people who had [...]
Protected: Day 12: Back to Cairo
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Day 11: Mt. Sinai
We sadly make our departure from Le Meridien in Dahab, traveling by bus to Saint Catherine Monastery. It was uneventful, even the monestary which was filled with Grecian relics and icons we had already seen last year in Greece. Two items of note: well of Moses and the burning bush, which looked more like a [...]
Day 10: scuba diving
We had a delicious breakfast buffet consisting of donuts and other baked goods. The other stuff didn’t look too appealing. afterwards I went by the water and collected my red sand and signed up at the Poseidon Diving Center for a day of scuba diving. It began with a lesson with my instructor Stephen and [...]
Day 9: Le Meridien, Dahab
Alas! We arrive to the third page of the itinerary. Breakfast was served downstairs withe usual buffet fare, but since the hotel was filled with tourists, there was a long line to get into the restaurant.
To arrive in Sharm El Sheikh, we took a ferry across the Red Sea. The waves were so choppy you [...]

And then he tried to drop us off somewhere else before the hotel, which ticked off Mom even more. She assumed the taxi driver knew exactly where [...]

It could be our bus driver smoking in the bus, other tourists standing near you, locals smoking in the shops, in the restaurants, in the hotels, everywhere! I’m not used to it because of the no-smoking policy we have [...]
Day 6: Valley of the Kings
I am not on vacation. I do not wake up at 5:20 in the morning, unless I am going to the airport for my vacation.
We taxied to Flobater Hotel to meet up with the rest of the crew. We took a motor boat to the west bank of the Nile, and from there we [...]
Day 5: Arriving in Luxor
I think we started sailing again at 5:30 in the morning, but i was too warm huddled in my sleeping bag and went back to sleep. I probably finally woke up at 8a.m. because everyone else was awake and talking. We docked at our final destination and had breakfast on the felucca while waiting for [...]
