A look into the trip to Jordan

It was a rough go about getting here but we made it.

8:30 p.m on the 6th - So hard to say goodbye. But I'm stoked for our adventure.

10:30 p.m. on the 6th - Stopped on the side of the road for our first pit stop. The ride is already epic with Sam sharing his testimony. The bathroom girl was super stoked to see us and we blessed her with way more than 1 pound to pee. The coffee was the best I've had so far on the trip (they steamed my milk!) + I got a little chocolate treat with it :) One more hour until we reach Cairo and this driver is crazy.

12:09 p.m. on the 7th - Bye Sam. Oh sad day leaving Sam at terminal one. And off we go.

4:38 a.m. on the 7th - Stop again. We had holes for a toilet and I've come to really appreciate the squaties.. less things to touch. Muhamed our driver turned the heat on (he was holding out). Chuck Norris jokes ... way too many Chuck Norris jokes.

6:15 a.m. on the 7th - We watch the sun rise over the Red Sea.

7:51 a.m. on the 7th - We are now in Nuwbi Mohamed dropped us off and we are all sitting on the top of our bags on the side of the road. Drinking tea and journaling. Again we had squaties and again we paid (no more free toilets). It was so cool to see the sunrise over the Red sea. I totally didn't expect that little snack pack from Jesus. I'm not sure what we will be doing all day - but we have until 2:00 p.m. before our boat leaves. The tea was five pounds... essentially one dollar but for here pretty spendy. I bet today will be a lot of journaling, cruising and jamming. The whole crew is pretty wide awake but Viktor -- we is passed out across the luggage. Can't believe where I am, the sights and biblical reality is evident here!

9:00 a.m. on the 7th - Still here and just cruising. Robert and Jazz and I jammed for a bit. I'm starting to learn new worship songs. Finally. We got stared at a lot as we were playing. We are white. We are woman and we are playing a stringed instrument.

10:34 a.m. on the 7th - Still chilling in the exact same spot, we got a super amazing falafel from one of the stands and is right up there with maybe the best. There is garbage everyone. It's hard for me to fathom treating your land like this. No rubbish cans in sight. Suck. It's super hot out and we are all way over heated. We touched the Red Sea and some local yelled at us and told us to leave their beach.
Sounds like we are going to reach a 5:00 p.m. ferry instead.

2:47 p.m. on the 7th - Yup still here.. we've been playing Monopoly for a super long time and we've all sort of hit our wits with the game. But we still keep playing. Fun times in wait.

4:29 p.m. on the 7th - We are on the ferry. Money is exchanged and no more Egyptian pounds. I journaled more on this leg of the trip than I have this entire time.

6:44 p.m. on the 7th - I think my time get's hazzy from here on out. But we are off and ready to get to our hostel. This marks the start of the haggling to get a driver.

6:19 p.m. on the 7th - Well technically the haggling has stopped, we are in "route". Bags and all shoved into a pimped out Suburban. We are sitting and waiting because the police told us to go back. Not too sure what is going on.

6:40 p.m. on the 7th - We become illegal.

12:40 p.m. on the 8th - We make it to the hostel. God answered so many prayers during this trip. There is no way to explain it. We didn't even know where the hostel was, nor did the driver and we made it and to compare the town we are in size wise -- it's as big as LA and we drove straight up to our little tiny hostel. PTL. We are here.
