We didn't take a lot of pics during our time in El Gouna last week. We didn't take a waterproof camera on the boat when we went snorkeling, though now that we have a bit more experience, we'll be sure to do so next time. Here are a few pics though...
listening to some instructions as we pull out to sea
(Marco's on the other side of Jamie, followed by Zeke, Titus, Grace, and Keli)
Patrick was there, too :)
one of the guides took us way off course because he thought he saw something--and he did, a large group of dolphins including a few babies. We chased them around the sea for 20 or 30 minutes until they would let us get closer.
everyone was on their feet as we bobbed through the waves
for better looks at the dolphins (Zeke above).
Titus taking a look...
...and though Grace wanted to see the dolphins, she
still wouldn't let people take pics of her!
once the dolphins let us hang around, several dove in for a closer look and a chance to swim with them. Jamie and Keli jumped in with Marco and Zeke -- the sea was quite rough here and the boys were not able to get used to their masks; though Keli didn't a good look, Jamie was close to one of the dolphins before all were called back to the boat.
we went back on course and spent 30 minutes or more in two different areas of reefs where we could snorkel -- the water was more calm and we all had a great time. Only Jamie and Keli had been before, but we were all blessed by the chance to see some amazing scenes.

As you drive back toward Cairo, you really are
along the coast for large portions of the trip!
