We made it out of town for Elliot's birthday! Off to the Ed Sea or Gulf of Suez. About an hour and a half east if Cairo, there are several resorts on the beach. Not town that we could see, just the resort and water. Hired a driver, booked two nights and enjoyed the sun, sand, pool. The morning of the birthday, a cake was delivered compliments of the resort. I asked the night before and they said that they deliver a small cake. So, i arranged for it to be at breakfast at 830 (the only time I knew where we would be). Well, the waiter asked about our pancake with chocolate syrup. then the manager. it was a funny experience. Finally the cake showed up. And some crows! For Elliots birthday we all went snorkeling. The first time for kids. A couple of reefs are close by. Saw coral and a variety of fish (angel of different colors, rainbows, and even a clownfish or two). Pretty cool! At home, we had sloppy joes and ice cream with Amy's famous chocolate sauce! Happy birthday!
