Sinai activities

Mary brought a kite from England and one windy day we all took a turn at flying it. Mary and Ellen got pretty good at it...I was pathetic and gave up quickly, but it was fun to watch. As soon as we started, three Bedouin children came over so of course they had turns too. I just love this picture of this girl who was so delighted with it. I don't think they get a lot of time to just play in their lives.

On New Year's Eve we headed over to a camp a few properties over...several Sudanese people ran it, and made a huge feast, then there was drumming and dancing. Our waiter from the Sultana came over too and impressed us with his incredible dancing--I don't even know what it's called--Arabic dancing? Belly dancing? Anyways, he looked like he had no bones in his body--amazing. It was great to usher in the new year on a beach with a diversity of people...reminded me last year of being with our friends Oscar and Mau on the beach in Guatemala.
