sage<\/b><\/p>\n
we’ve been emailing back and forth w\/ sage for the last week or so, trying to figure out how we’d synch up here in egypt. to my surprise, i got an email from her the other day saying that she was not only done w\/ her trip in israel, but she had actually arrived here in dahab! so after spending most of the day playing email tag, we finally hooked up w\/ her last night! she’s here w\/ her friends dave and terra. there is this restaurant alibaba’s that caryn walks by every day on her way to diving. the tout out front has been begging us to come in to his restarant for days and we have kept saying “no” or “maybe” or “some other time”. well today we showed up there, and not only did we show up, but we brought friends as well. the tout was *psyched*. we’ve been a bit nervous about eating fish here cause we were unsure about the freshness, but we ordered a *huge* grouper last night and it was delicious! after dinner, the out convinced us to go with him to this dance bar down the stret and we did. kicked it for a while, and caryn and sage played w\/ poi. it was actually quite funny cause this guy kept trying to dance standing under the poi as caryn or sage were spinning. dave got some hilarious shots of this!<\/p>\n
change of plans<\/b><\/p>\n
i dont know if anybody has actually bothered to check the link at the top of my journal to see what my itinerary is. but, according to our intial itinerary, we should be in south africa right now. obviously we’re really behind schedule as we’ve been apending extra days here and there… or actually, pretty much everywhere. i think we’ve stayed longer in almost every country we’ve gone to so far! anyways, after egypt, our plan was to take a flight down to nairobi and do east africa for about 2 months. well, after thinking about it, we’ve realized that doing so would make the weather for a lot of our trip quite crap, so we’ve decided to change our plans. instead, we’re making india our next destination. on the 11th or so of january, we’re flying from cairo to bombay. also, after reading a bit in the india guidebook, we realized that our initial plan to spend 3 weeks in india was absolutely ridiculous. india is way too big. it’s practically it’s own continent. so we’ve doubled our time there. now we’ll be spending 6 weeks there. after that we’re doing the rest of our itinerary (sans africa) as planned: south east asia, asia, russia, and then we’ll tack on the africa portion there before heading to south america. i dont know if any of you are still thinking of meeting us anywhere, but if you are, keep this new schedule in mind…<\/p>\n
