We took a quick trip to the Sinai Peninsula in December and had ourselves a wholly unexpected adventure. We stayed in the town of Terebin, and were two of only about 12 tourists total in all the town. It is, keep in mind, a village built for the sole purpose of tourism, with no other business at all. It was amazing to see the far reaching effects of the Intifada and we had the opportunity to sit and get to know other people which we probably wouldn't have done otherwise. We spent time with the Israeli Dive Instructor and his family, the Jordanian brothers, a weirdo German guy from Cairo, and the shopkeepers and locals of Terebin. We came back with lots of stories, a couple of great pictures and a feeling that there isn't so much, after all, that separates us as people.

Beautiful beaches but the water was a little chilly.

Hey! Those glasses look awfully familiar!		Waiting for the sun.
