Friday, May 13th

Our time of touring was at an end.  This last entire day was spent relaxing at our five-star Marriott Red Sea Beach Resort.  We were all EXHAUSTED - but in a good way.  We were able to see SO much on this trip.  I will remember it forever.

We started the day with some volleyball on the beach.  Then Mark and I went snorkeling with Jace and Zac in some of the prettiest coral reefs in the world.  I always thought the beautiful colors you see in the ocean in the Disney movie "Finding Nemo" were exaggerated - they weren't!  It was absolutely gorgeous down there - bright and colorful!  We saw so many huge beautiful schools of fish that were so close you could reach out and touch them.  We also saw eels.  There were so many beautiful corals to see.  We swam about 1/2 mile in about an hour.  I was pretty tired when we got out, but it was so worth it!

We swam in the huge beautiful pool below that wraps around through the resort with beautiful caves and waterfalls.  And we treated ourselves to yummy ice cream cones.
