After struggling through a mid-year workweek, I was off to the closest thing to paradise in Egypt- Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea. It was less than a two hour drive away but it felt like we were on a different planet. There was no car honking, no smog, no dust, no yelling. Actually, there weren't even people there. We were alone in this beach resort, summer homes of the wealthy. This time of the year is too cold to swim but warm enough to sit out on the beach. The gentle, unassuming sun even gave 2/4 of us pretty bad sunburns. I, of course, was sparred.
It always baffles me how beautiful blue water can sit right up next to a dry barren desert. Isn't it ironic? (cue music)
