July 21st

Going on a boat cruse, snorkeling, diving, banana boating and tubing in the Red Sea, has definitely been one of the most eventful days on this trip. Never have I ever enjoyed being whipped about through the water by a speed boat so much. Being able to just let go of your body and take the form of a rag doll, comes with such an adrenaline rush that it’s indescribable. We hadn’t even realized that one of us had fallen overboard the tube and being one of the last ones to stay attached to the tube came with great novelty. After drying off by the Israeli sun, I found that my long hair had become dreadlocked due to the extremely salty water of the Red Sea- it was hilarious. So much fun, so little sleep, I wish I could live like this forever.
