..............The Moment You've All Been Waiting For...

Nuweiba, Egypt!

The most stressful, relaxing part of our trip.

Beautiful Park

Two lane road with three lanes of traffic...gotta love that stress!

................................Home!

After a wonderful week in Egypt with Clint and Vivienne we have made it safely home! We were greeted with a freshly painted house and deck when we arrived, it was quite a nice surprise!

I will update with pictures and our activity in Egypt soon, but if you are in the Ohio area next Sunday, August 9th and want to hear about our trip, see some pictures and enjoy good food and fellowship, I invite you to stop by Grace Brethren Church in Wooster at 4:30 for an Israel/Egypt Potluck Party! If you need more information, send me an e-mail cathy.yoder@hotmail.com. Otherwise bring a dish and we look forward to sharing our adventures with you!


Thank you for your prayers,
Cathy and Tyler
