VISIT TO ST. CATHERINE'S MONASTRY
Certainly a trip to remember. During our journey out to the Sinai from TEK
we visited St. Catherine's Monastry. There were no doors or gates in the walls
so the only way in or out was to be hoisted up and over the walls. But it was
definitely worth the visit and very memorable.
