I woke up after a full-night's sleep (finally!). Today was busy but with fewer events. We awoke at the crack of dawn in order to get to Haifa in time for our 8 am flight.

Our flight took us from the very northern city of Haifa all the way across Israel to the very southernmost city of Eilat. What would have been a six-hour drive was flown in about 45 minutes, and what a beautiful flight!

We landed in Eilat and proceeded to an awaiting tourist boat for a sail on the Red Sea. The Red Sea is very blue. How did it get its name? It is also called the Sea of Edom. Edom is another name for Esau, and it means red. Esau was red and hairy, remember?
