The Nile. The Train. The Camels. The Joy.

Faluka Boat Ride on the Nile, Camel Safari through the Streets, Citadel Mosque, Overnight Trainride to Cairo, Africa Hard Rock Cafe, Camels at our Rest Stop, and Snorkeling in a Red Sea Reef... Life is pretty dang good.

Riding the Faluka on the Nile with our 17 year old pirate captain boy.

Getting off the Nile Ride, and entering into Camel Zone.




I can't believe it. A spitting, chomping, uneasy, large, smelly, wonderful camel. 45 actually. All in a row. Parading through the villages, alongside the Nile, and through banana fields.


Lots of the people and kids came out to wave and look at us. It was quite a sight though. so many camels. so many white tourists. I felt like a parade.



The Nile. And my camel guide adeen. More than the money, most of the guides just wanted a some kisses....


My overnight-train ride roommate Deb.


All of us girls hanging out in one of our train rooms. Such fun people here.

Citadel Mosque. A hugely beautiful Mosque. We all took off our shoes to enter, and found so many cool pictures and people. If you weren't dressed modestly, they made you wear these graduation suit looking outfits.



HardRock Cafe Africa.


At a rest stop on one of our drives. There were camels outside the bathroom just chilling. You know, the usual. Ha.


Snorkeling in the Red Sea on our way back to the Jerusalem center. We were at Eliat reef and swam with hundreds and hundreds of fish all over.
