Climb, sister, climb!

My sister is currently in Egypt on a cross-cultural trip for school (the Lancaster Theological Seminary). Today she's slated to be visiting St. Catherine's Monastery and climbing Mt. Sinai. According to the Internet, the traditional Mount Sinai is actually the name of a collection of peaks, sometimes referred to as the Holy Mountains. This peak is traditionally considered to be biblical place where Moses communicated with God and received the Ten Commandments. It also has considerable religious significance to Islam as the place where Mohammed's horse, Boraq, ascended to heaven.

She's also been snorkeling in the Red Sea on this trip! I am sure there's much education going on during this trip as well. I just want to see pictures upon her return!
