My New Home

Basata is a camp on the coast of the Sinai Peninsula. On this map you can see the town of Neweiba. Basata is located a few kilometers north.










This is the sign as you come up the road. We are located right off the one road that goes up and down the coast.













The view of our cottage from behind.













This is the front of the cottage from the front.














This is the view from the window. We can see Saudi Arabia as long as there isn't too much dust in the air.














View of the pigeon house and barn area where the sheep, goats and donkeys are kept.
side note: The donkeys lovingly defecated all over our front porch yesterday which we had to clean up with a shovel. I guess they didn't like their new names.














This is the school. There are four classrooms. One for each grade, 3rd, 6th and 12th, and one for individual lessons. Mady and I live about 30 seconds from school.

  4. I am glad that the notes for more pictures I had been passing along to Matt made it to you. Your new home looks very hot and sweaty. I am sure the rock garden you have going in the pictures will be in full bloom by the end of spring and you will have a bumper harvest.

  5. Wow. And, with growing up on the East Coast I've always thought that California is dry! Bet you're having a great time with the kids. How are the lesson plans going? We miss you...love, cheeks and Blaze
