Desert :)

The desert was exquisite. Quiet, pristine, geologically fascinating (for those of us who are huge nerds)... We began the trip by leaving our hotel at 5am in a cab that took us 4 hours south to the town of Baharia. The drive was slightly terrifying, as there was so much fog that visibility was almost zero on the small two lane road on which were were going quite fast. Once we reached the town, we switched to a Toyota 4x4 with a Bedouin guide who was an excellent driver and cook. He set a beautiful camp up for us, and we stayed up late talking in broken English/Arabic. I think pictures will speak here better than words:

More pics to be posted on facebook soon... and I will write more here about what I've done since the desert. <3
