More Valley of the Whales

Last weekend, David and I went back to the Valley of the Whales to camp overnight. We decided to leave the fly off our tent because, you know, it was so warm and we could watch the stars...but we forgot about the sand. The fine gritty ubiquitous sand. I woke up with sand in my hair, my ears, my sleeping bag......everywhere. Desert camping tip #1....don't leave fly off of tent. :)

Here are some photos:













































These sediment layers were really interesting.






























These are a group of kids from the British school up in Cairo who camped out overnight with us. Super interesting to talk with and they were completely fluent in English....sounded like Americans. Fun group.
