Onto Sharm El Sheik

We are heading further south down the coast, on the trail of even better diving. Outside the big resort town of Sharm El Sheik, there's a marine preserve with, we are told, about 4 times as much sea life as we are seeing here. A German cargo ship sunk by the British in 1941 also makes a popular dive destination.

We've been hanging around with a fun Canadian couple down here, who are travelling around the world for a year. They had some wonderful and inspiring stories to share. I've signed up for how many years of school again, which will preclude me from such a great adventure ... !?!? :)

In other news, I finally had a brief conversation with Dr. Achmud, the Bedouin doctor I wrote an article on for an herbal magazine in 1999. The driver at my hotel is bringing him a copy of the magazine later today. After so many years of holding onto it, it's so nice to know it is finally being delivered!
