It's Official

Well it's official. I am staying in Kuwait another year...ACA gave the teachers a raise I couldn't resist. lol. Actually I want to travel more...I have the bug.

This is short because I need to write my report cards...but I leave in less than a week for Thailand/Cambodia so I will post some pics from that vacation when I return...I am sitting at the coffee shop that has free high speed if you buy something so to upload pictures will be faster.

Hope everything is well with everyone. A friend of mine set me up with a yahoo account so I can call you for 1 penny a minute...unfortunately I didn't bring my address book with me as I didn't plan on calling anyone for 50 cents a minute...and right now I regret it...so if you get a chance send me your phone number via e-mail: kristaflynn@hotmail.com and I can call you!!!

Miss you all lots,
Krista

Bethlehem, Israel

I loved Israel. I want to go back and spend more time here...maybe next year. I have decided to stay another year and teach in Kuwait. I am really enjoying teaching here and the travelling is great. As much as I miss my family and friends I think one more year will make my resume look a bit better before returning to Canada.

Jesus was born on the spot above...in a cave (also known as a stable)
Did you see this on TV Christmas eve?!?!
Wahleed our tour guide who wanted me to marry him and become queen of Bethlehem.
The Western Wall (People come to this wall and write a note and stick it in the cracks and pray)
Also known as the Wailing Wall

Jordan

From Cairo we flew to Jordan and stayed the night in Madaba. In the morning we went to Mount Nebo where moses is supposedly buried. Then we went to the baptismal site of where Jesus was baptised and crossed the border into Israel. The border crossing wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. But it was a lot easier that we had copies of our flights leaving Jordan and a hotel in Jerusalem.

Behind me is where Jesus was baptised...its a dried up river now.
Touching the Jordan river..on the otherside is Israel.

Egypt

At the Valley of the Kings/Queens you cannot take pictures inside the tombs. We went into King Tuts tomb and saw his mummy. Pretty cool. In Cario we went to the museum where all his artifacts and stuff that used to be in his tomb is now stored. He had alot of stuff!!!

From Luxor to Cario we took the night sleeper train. I had a great sleep but nobody elese did.
At the pyramids....
I am soo strong I can pick up the pyramids! OH ya

A few of my favorite pics from Egypt...Loved Luxor.. 1 day in Cario was enough. The pyramids were amazing. We took a camel ride all the way to the pyramids. ..and honestly I was a bit sore for the next few days. :S
