Eilat!

how does a day trip snorkeling at Eilat sound? if you said perfection then you got it.
the red sea is gorgeous.
just check out the strips of blue and green in the sea. the water was crystal clear- at one point rach, alys and i swam far out and i looked down into the dark blue.
several feet under me i saw a black figure swimming and immediately thought it was a shark! but it turned out to be a scuba diver swimming at the bottom of sea.
and i could see that far down.
pretty sweet.

out in the sea was a massive floating island that we all played on while we took turns using the snorkeling masks. the fish were beautiful and super fast- i tried to catch one but i was too slow. after the beach we went to a mall to shop.
and that was strange it almost felt like an american mall except i was dressed like a beach bum. on the drive way home we stopped at a kibbutz for dinner which was delicious!
it was such a luxury to have a whole day of fun before our week of finals.
