Dahab, Egypt

Well, here's where I've been spending the last 9 days of my holiday.  The mountains that can be seen in the background of the first 5 photos is Saudi Arabia.  The last 3 are on the Egyptian side of the Red Sea.










Tonight is my last night in Egypt.  Tomorrow I head north a little by bus and take a ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) into Jordan.  A new adventure awaits...

The Real Deal.

Breath in...


Breath out.

Alright!  Many of you have already called me out on the photos of my last post.  No, I did not take those.  These are the ones of me.  The two above are me at the bottom of a canyon.  Depth here was 33 Meters/108 ft. below the surface.  This was my first dive that deep and the combination of the pressure you feel on your chest simply breathing and the fact that there is nothing but rock and sand surrounding you was a true test of the mind.  I loved it!!!
