The bush at Saint Catherine's monastery


Inside the monastery at the base of Mount Sinai is the burning bush that God spoke to Moses from. It has been carbon dated back to thousands of years old! When I touched it, a thorn pricked me to bleed. When I took a photo of it, this is what came out. Whoa!

Amazing. What a surreal experience it must have been.

Hi, just found your blog as I was searching for info on the Sunset Camp in Wadi Rum! I'd love to talk more with you about your experience there. I am thinking of volunteering there myself later this year, between Aug-Oct sometime. But I'm a little hesitant so it was great to find your blog. Clearly you've enjoyed it so would recommend it?

Please email me privately if you have time - vwgrrl@clear.net.nz. Thanks very much and thanks for sharing your adventures!
