The Amazing Trip - part 1

You've heard of the amazn race? Well this is The Amazing Trip, except that no one got eliminated!! ;-) Actually, what is amazing is that our requests were heard for this trip! That doesn't mean we didn't have our share of misadventures or weird smells-n-sights. All in all, though, this trip had many great memories, fun adventures, new experiences and friendships(hopefully for a lifetime)! It was a very meaningful trip to and we were able to think about many things and people. It is a place full of history and special significance for us. But what really made this an amazing trip is the places we visited and the people we meet along the way. The traveling was tedious, but so worth it! Well, enough rambling... a pictures worth a 1,000 words anyway.








This is the first of a series of blog posts of us with some visitors we had on an amazing trip we had this summer! More below...

We had the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Moses. The best part of this trip was our starlight camel rides! I really enjoyed the view from the top as well!! As we ascended I thought about the One who first put the stars in place and knows them by name. He looked down (years ago) at a man fleeing in despair and failure into this rugged terrane. The man probably felt very alone, but he was not! The Father loved him very much and had momentous plans in store for him. He would later reveal Himself to Moses in such a unique way that they would be called friends!

So this is how they make flat bread! As you can see it takes talent to make. It's really yummy when its hot & fresh!! I wonder if this is how Sarah of old made it?


It doesnt look like much, but this sweet, poor family gave us the best they had. We were so blessed and humbled by their hospitality. Hospitality is such an important part of their culture. We gave them a little but important gift in return. By the way, the fish was really awesome, so if it looks like it was devoured... that's 'cause it was!


Sometimes you get a guide without even asking for one. This is famous coastal town for diving. They haven't had much business lately, but they are lacking even greater things. Sometimes the most beautiful places in the world have the deepest needs!

This next scene made our "never-seen-that-before" list! Well, it was really hot, so why not!
