After spending 4 or 5 days without internet I am back in Cairo getting ready to leave for Kuala Lumpur in just a few minutes!  I know you all have been anxiously awaiting the next blog entry :-) and I'm sorry that it has taken so long!  I will spend some time (when I have some!) filling in the bits that are missing and sharing some pictues too!  I wanted to make sure that Sinai Pennisula got its place on the map. 

I climbed the 3,750 Steps of Repentance to watch the sunset on the summit of Mt. Sinai following in the footsteps of Mosos.  At one point along the climb the rays of light coming through the clouds were almost magical!  The next day I held the tip of the burning bush in St. Catherine's Monestary!  It was such a moving experience to be in these surroundings.  I am so lucky to have seen and experienced all of the wonderful things I have seen so far! 

There is so much more to share, but just to wet your appetite...snorkeling in the Red Sea, 7 and 8 hour bus rides, bazaars you wouldn't believe, and being covered head to toe to enter the Mosque in Cairo!

Love you everyone!
