Camping in Ras Mohamed

While the East Coast was being slammed by an awful storm, I was sitting pretty on the beach with the desert as the backdrop. It took years to get there- no exaggeration- with security checkpoints making us pull over about an hour each time. But it was all worth it because it was beautiful, relaxing, and a much needed getaway from Cairo's insanity.

We slept in tents right on the beach and I woke up to the sound of water before I even opened my eyes. We went snorkeling every day- not bad for someone who hasn't even swam before. We passed time with volleyball, Frisbee, and cards.

All of our meals were homemade and delicious and served right on the beach.

Even better, coming home was a much smoother ride thanks to clever strategies that worked better than trying to look Egyptian.
