We writers took a well deserved "Mental Health Day" and traveled by boat to Mahmya - which can only be described as a "rock in the middle of the Red Sea."
As you know, I am a beach fanatic! I couldn't wait to get away from my daily grind and into the blue, welcoming waters of the Red Sea.
This beach experience was vastly different from what I've become accustomed to. Different as in, you look around and say: Where are the palm trees? There should be palm trees dammit!
But alas, there is only desert...
Side note: The Red Sea is the saltiest body of water I have ever had the pleasure of swimming in. The salt content is so high, that even a day later, I'm still quite ashy - even my homemade mixture of shea and cocoa butter is doing little to combat the ash! *giggle*
We frolicked in the water, lazed around in the shade, ate WAY too much food and in no time, we were bidding Mahyma a fond farewell.
Topping off the evening was the absolutely fabulous lunar eclipse. I'm sick that I didn't have a camera that could properly capture the event. The moon turned a red that I had only seen in movies.
Spoooooky....
Next week Luxor....
Back to work... have an awesome and beyond blessed week...

Like the Salton Sea - in California we just have rocks by the beach, some big (huge like Moro and some smaller). My friend Hercule Poirot went to Luxor, since he is a famous detective, maybe you will see him there! LOL Your pictures are soooo beautiful! You may have to make postcards for us! Love to you, Barbara
Beautiful pictures of the heavenly but salty water, Bernice. Yet another strange but wonderful day in El Gouna. xA
