After we showered and had breakfast we returned with the rest of the group to the base of Mt. Sinai to St. Catherine's Monestary. This location is based upon the Biblical story of Moses tending to his father-in-law Jethro's flock. Moses traditionally came to draw water from Jethro's well and saw a bush burning but not being consumed. We visited the traditional site of the well and what the locals claim to be the actual buring bush.
