June 8th
Up at seven to catch the public bus to Eilat. We finally get to ride on one of the innumerable green buses that are all over the place here. Said goodbye to Smore and started the 5 hour bus ride. We got here at two thirtyish and went where? To the beach of course, though the sand here is not as nice. From here I can see Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and I know that Egypt is right around the point. Pretty cool. There are some huge black sea urchins here that I spotted by a rock. We’re going snorkeling sometime this week. I think Wednesday before we head out for Sinai. Tomorrow we are going to Petra! Woohoo!
