I keep looking through my hundreds of pictures from my trip to Egypt three months ago (by the way, it still feels surreal to write that I went to the Middle East) and finding things I want to tell you about. So, in an effort to get the rest of it out of my system, I picked fourteen of my favorite pictures I took that you haven’t seen here yet and decided to tell you the story behind each of them in one sentence or less:

Oto, waiting in the London airport –

Hannah in the Jeep that took us to the Blue Hole, a world famous snorkeling and diving spot –

Cate and Gosling, as we three musketeers boarded a flight together –

The market, as evening began to settle –

Oto and John, three minutes from boarding in London –

Gosling journaling beside the sea –

Hannah, in our first moments on the Nile River –

My most vivid memory of my day in Garbage City –

Hannah holding “my” baby –

Cate holding a baby’s head after she fell asleep in her arms –

Trent and a baby, a picture his girlfriend back home absolutely loved –

Hannah, standing outside a church one afternoon –

Gosling, as we left Garbage City after being with the babies –

The chair I sat in by the Red Sea whilst realizing the life after Starlite was going to be okay –

And there you have it, loves — my adventure in Egypt, all summed up. Want to read the whole story, post by post?

Our First Night Alone | It involved Cate, myself and one twin bed, of course.

The First Scarf | As well as the first peek at our rooftop adventures.

Meet My Pet Camel | I go for my first ride on a camel. Enough said?

Girls Gone… Mild? | All we needed was pizza, a butcher knife and an old t-shirt.

Laundry Service | At least we know how to operate our washing machines at home.

Permanent Souvenir | Why send mom and dad a postcard when you’ve got a blog?

Homesick | Well, it had to happen at some point.

The Miss Middle East Contest | I guess they’d have to let Cate and I tie for first place.

Scars | I’ve never been so grateful for them.

Cate And Her Crocodile | Leave it to Cate to spot the crocodile and the naked man.

International iPod Incident | Did I mention they were selling DVD’s of the footage?

Leaving London | But taking the accent home with me.

Reunited And It Feels So Good | Until you listen to the video and realize you sound stupid.

Jet Lag Can’t Be That Big Of A Drag | Especially when you’re rocking the side ponytail.
