In Eilat

My family and I just got back from Eilat. Eilat is at the bottom of the country and across the Red Sea is Jordan. It was amazing. We stayed at a great hotel called Dan Panorama and we were right across the street from the beach. The first day we mostly just hung out by the pool. We relaxed and had a nice time. The next day we snorkeled in the Red Sea, which was really fun. We saw fish and coral of all sorts and we saw some scuba divers. We snorkeled for three hours before we packed up and headed over to the Underwater Observatory. The Underwater Observatory was really cool. It is a museum under the water where you can see all the fish and coral under the water. The coral is very colorful and the fish are active. The fish barely notice you when you are there. It's fun to see the fish go about their everyday life. We also saw some HUGE sea turtles and some sting rays. We saw sharks too. They were really cool, but freaky. It was really fun to go to Eilat because in my Hebrew class at Weizmann Day School we learned about Eilat and the Underwater Observatory, so now we actually got to go there and have a nice time.
