I’ll wave at Jordan and Egypt for you
Tomorrow morning I’m flying to Eilat which is a city at the southern-most tip of Israel. And when they say southern-most tip, they really mean it:
They call Eilat (pronounced ‘aye-lot’) the “Las Vegas of Israel”. Except it doesn’t have any casinos. Or drag queens. And it’s next to a large body of water instead of in the middle of the desert. Now that I think about it, it’s really nothing like Las Vegas. Regardless, I’m going to Eilat, baby!
I’m mostly excited about swimming in the Red Sea. I’m not sure why. Maybe because I think it’ll be a great ice breaker in the future during strange silent encounters with people. Example: silence. silence silence. Me: “You know, I swam in the Red Sea once.” The other silent person: “Wow!”. Then we enjoy a long and fruitful conversation.
Also, the geography of Eilat provides a wonderful view of Jordan to the east and Egypt to the west. At least I can say that I’ve “seen” Jordan and Egypt.
More to come….
BONUS: Guess how long the flight from Tel Aviv to Eilat will be and you’ll win a yet to be decided prize! (And Jason, the time I told you before isn’t exactly correct.)
