Hello! After lots of requests and many weeks my latest travel blog is now up! I've decided to jump around and go ahead and publish the Middle East ones prior to the Christmas break one (the photos are done but not the writing, I'm working on it, things have been busy!).

To give a brief summary, for winter break (in France winter break takes place during the last weeks of February) I traveled with the five other assistants to Egypt, Jordan and Israel for two weeks - a really amazing trip. As I took so many photos and it was such an adventure, the Middle East travel blog will be released in three installments, first one (this one) Dahab, Egypt, the second one, Luxor and Cairo, and the third Jordan and Israel. I hate to say it, but in this first installment there won't be as many photos as usual because I transferred my 500 some photos to another assistant's memory stick which was then lost/stolen, so some photos are mine, but most I got from the other assistants (thanks guys!). . . still makes me upset to think about it though...

Our trip started out by flying from London to Sharm-El-Sheik (city in the south of the Sinai Peninsula) on Sunday from where we took a shuttle to Dahab, a city famous for its diving hot spots located two hours to the northeast. (I recommend checking out the map I've included, it helps piece together the trip). By the time we arrived in Dahab, we were pretty low on energy as we'd been traveling over almost a day and a half and weren't quite sure what we'd gotten ourselves into with the hostel booked over the internet from the comfort of our own French McDo. This lull in energy did not last very long once Emad the Penguin Hostel manager opened up the van doors to let us know the Penguin party had begun! Staff quickly unloaded our luggage and showed us the way to the Bedouin-style outdoor dining area where other staff members appeared with freshly brewed mint tea. For those of you who have not been fortunate ...
