Pictures from Sinai

Ok, so it's taken me about an hour to get these pictures up here, so once again you will have to wait until tomorrow for the real blog post about our trip. For now I shall leave you on the edge with some pictures and captions. I hope you enjoy.


This is the sunrise from the first day of our vacation in "Shark's Bay," which is just a little north of Sharm el-Shiek, Sinai.

Here's Shark's Bay as seen from our breakfast table that morning. About four hours later we left and headed for Dahab.

This is from the night before, and I just thought it was kind of awesome. Understandably, so did Bill. We were staying in the "view huts" of a sort of resorty type place, and this is from the top of the resort complex.


Here is our home away from home in Dahab, "The Penguin Village." It was really great, and the people were just lovely.


Here is Bill reading in the little Penguin beach-front cafe...something we did a lot of.


Here's the sea as seen from the Penguin cafe. Pretty awesome, eh?


Here's a lovely Dahab sunset, aslo a view from Penguin


It was probably about 20 degrees F on top of Mt. Sinai, and we were quite chilly. I call this the caterpillar look.

But it was totally worth it.


Another vista.


The hoards descend.


Bill and some camel butts.


Bill touching the burning bush. I didn't see and flames.

Ok, hopefully this will tide everyone over until the morrow. :-)
