Hiking Mount Sinai







We woke up at 2am, met the students for hot chocolate at 2:30am, and then loaded the 2 busses to go to the base of Mt Sinai, where we began our hike around 3:30am. Our goal was to make it to the top for the sunrise at 6:30am. We made it by 6:15am and saw the most beautiful sunrise. We have been recovering from our trip, jumping right back into the class schedule here, teaching class, correcting tests, having meetings, returning to Aladdins for more shekels, back to the store to fill the fridge with food.Craig just laid down to rest, he and many others have been dealing with curse of Pharaoh’s revenge, which came back with us from Egypt the last day of the trip.
