Relaxing in the Red Sea

---

Well, as everyone else... hehehe... we need some vacation too, we were traveling in a strong pace and visiting places was becoming boring because we were always tired. So we decided to stop in a relaxing place for more than only three days, the chosen place is Dahab in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. I know you may think we are crazy because in the last 24 of May were some terrorists attacks here. But the place is great and cheaper than many other places we have been before. We pay less than two US Dollars for the night in the hotel. There is many great diving and snorkeling places... yes, this is the famous red sea.... where we can sea a great diversity of big fishes, including turtles, moreias, araias, dolphins, Sharks, Lion fishes and impressive colorful corals.
But as any good traveler we didn't stay still, we went to the St Katherine Monastery where is the biblical Burning Bush and Sinai Mountain where Moses received the 10 commandments according to the bible.
June first was Claudio's birthday, we did SCUBA diving in the red sea as his birthday present.
