Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.

dreaming of a seaside paradise

The Red Sea is not red. It's blue. Almost turquoise. And it's full of coral and a million different species of marine life. And it's not as cold as they say it is.

Wadi Rum is just like Prince Edward Island...if PEI had mountains and desert. The sand is so red, and when the sun sets it glows. At night you can see so many stars that the Milky Way is practically a thick white line across the sky. And the beetles are the size of small children.

Aqaba is such a small city that you can walk across it in under 30 minutes. There's a Roman Church from 400AD. And an ancient Ayla fortress. A diving centre every 2 feet.

And an overwhelmingly large flag of Palestine.

Expect pictures later. But not now. Much later. Bed now. Bus at 6:10am tomorrow. Classes from 7:30am to 2:30pm. Then sleep.
