Egypt

Well we've been staying in Giza near the Pyramids with a family that does camel tours argyound the Pyramids. really different view. Crossed the Suez and the Sinai Monday to stay on the Gulf of Aquaba.Yesterday took a ferry from Taba Egypt to Aquaba Jordan, crossing below Elat Israel and just miles north of Saudi Arabia. Took a bus from there about 80 miles through. the mountains of Jordan and Wadi Rum to Petra one of the seven modern wonders of the world. Hiked six miles out of 45sq kilometers of the site. Incredible. I''ll be posting more pictures on facebook when time and reliable connections exist. Today we go off in the deserts of central Sinai for several days camel trekking with Bedouins towards St. Catherine's Monastery, another World Heritage Site. and the a climb of Mt. Sinai.

Humble

The blurb below is from Paul Thorn's FB page. He is not only one of Mississippi's best singer/song writer/performer, but his wit and wisdom is great.

Well my $19 dollar walmart charcoal grill has breathed its last breath, the tray that catches all the ashes rusted out about a month ago, and i put an old skillet under it to catch all the droppings but now the whole grill is falling apart as a result of more rust, i went back to walmart today and upgraded to a grill that cost $40. its a lot more fancy than that other one i bought back in 08. i almost felt guilty walking through the store with my high dollar purchase sitting front and center in that buggy, while most other folks still have to use the $19 type grill that i once used back before i hit the big time.

I dont mean to further rub my success in peoples faces but i even bought the high dollar charcoal, the kind that dont need charcoal lighter fluid. its called ''match lite''. i will save the bag to remind me of how far ive come, i am trying to stay humble but its hard when you have the world by the tail. please pray for me so that i can keep my feet on the ground and not become arrogant as a result of my success.
