We are still in Dahab and having a great time! Last night we went out to dinner at a restaurant called the "Funny Mummy". It was the coolest restaurant I've ever been to! We basically sat on the floor on cushions, infront of short little coffee tables. The whole place was very open, with nothing me a canopy and some walls made out of sheets. There wer cool lanterns all over the place, creating a very cozy atmosphere. Then our server brought over a little campfire to keep us warm! I order Egyptian style fish with rice and vegetables and it was AMAZING! And instead of getting rolls and butter to start, they brought out pita bread, hummus, and vegetables. Delicious.
After awhile one of the guys working there opened up the curtains behind our table to reveal the Red Sea - literally 2 fet from our table! All during the meal there wer stray cats (well actually kittens wandering around the restaurant. They wer adorable, but we were told not to touch them. Such torture - I'm a sucker for kittens! It was funny though... I'm eating this fancy meal with a striped kitty sitting meatloaf-style on the cushion next to me. The restaurant provided us with spray bottles full of water to spray the cats if they tried to get into our food.
This morning we went snorkeling! Some people say the Red Sea is better diving/snorkeling than the Great Barrier Reef, but I'm not convinced. It was somewhat cold and we almost backed out, but we rented wetsuits and jumped in. We were snorkeling in a famous area called the Blue Hole. I've never seen a reef like it before. It was more like we were swimming next to the reef, instead of above it. The blue hole itself is over 100 meters deep! The fish were amazing and my new underwater digital camera was awesomse! I even got video of the fish and my new friends! I'm still so bummed that I can't upload pictures here. I can't wait to show everyone! We may go snorkeling again on Thursday. Tomorrow I plan on lounging on the beach all day, and possibly take a break top ride a camel for awhile!
