Aqaba 2004

After several months of living in Egypt, Aqaba seemed to be almost a fairy tale land of calm cleanliness. It took a long day's drive in the bus and on the ferry to get there, but we sure felt like it was worth it.

Looking back, it's almost comical at how relaxed Katie and I felt when we walked down the streets of Aqaba. Until then, we hadn't even realized the tension we'd been carrying with us in Egypt. Now, don't get me wrong - I loved my time in Egypt. However, there's something about being around so many people in such a chaotic environment that, over time, creates a fair amount of tenstion. Aqaba is where that tension started to drift away.
