For Mom, Love Steve

Here’s some quick photos of Dahab as I think I will head over to Nuweiba tomorrow.

This one is for you Erica. Yes, I am a lucky bastard.

I believe this is number six on my itinerary with “M” taking the photo.

More of my fat cat. Got pissed off and pouted because I wouldn’t give him any of my food. He was a good target for throwing rocks at though. Just kidding Cinderella. He he he.

Like my itinerary says I had breakfast every morning at 8am sharp. Alright, maybe 11am, but its still my itinerary.

Thats Saudi Arabia right across the way. It would be cool to be able to go to Mecca. Would be swimming in virgins after that. Now, now, thats not me, thats Islam. Also, if you take a look at the ocean, where the water starts is the drop off, straight down to about 10-15 meters with very nice reef. It extends through pretty much the whole side of the ocean. At high tide the top bar is covered but still only knee high.

The Blue hole which is just outside of Dahab. Pretty nice as the mountains run right down to the sea. I am kind of suspicious though as I thought the real Blue Hole was in Israel. It’s a really deep crater and there are side tubes that you can swim through if you are certified. Supposedly there are a video of a guy who went solo through the tubes, got disoriented, panicked, and drowned. This was all captured on video as he was taping his own dive/death. That ought to be pretty challenging to watch that video and then do the dive.

Man, really sorry about not responding but here goes and thanks for commenting.

Snarky, Snarky, Snarky, are you sure that it possibly wasn’t you plaguirizing me. “Shingles”, now can you come up with cutesy names for my Syphilles, Gonorrea, Genital warts. (just kidding, I’m a one STD kind of guy.

Marisa- Sudan just might have been enough stress to kick it off. It also could have been going from the lowest form of travel to the lap of luxury in one hour Sudan-Egypt. It could be I am just plain getting old. My right shoulder is kind of aching a lot too, I think that comes from me being forced to throw curveballs and knucklers when I was like five years old.

Although bus rides tend to be pretty un-interesting, it did give me an opportunity to be surprised to see the Pyramids of Giza looming over Cairo. Beyond that we arrived in the dust and smog ridden capital. I got ... [Continue reading this entry]
