We do not have the use of the internet today so pictures will follow tomorrow.
Today we started in Cairo. We took a beautiful sailboat ride down the Nile. We crossed the Suez Canal and headed south and stopped at the first place the Israelites stopped at Mara. We continued south to the place where the Israelites met the Malachites. We continued south through the Sinai Dessert and ended up at Mt. Sinai. We stopped at St. Catherine’s monastery and saw the traditional spot of the burning bush and the well where Moses met his wife, Zapporah.
At 12:30 a.m., the hardy ones of the group will get up and begin to climb Mt. Sinai at 1:00 a.m.! They should be on top by sunrise. Then back on the bus toward Edom.
