Lazy Day at the Dolphin Reef

You won't find a dolphin mentioned by name in the King James Version of the Bible. There are people who believe that the Tabernacle in the Wilderness was covered with dolphin hide rather than badgers' skins. Certainly, biblical words sometimes really mean something different than we think at first glance. But dolphins' skins on the Tabernacle is a new one for me. I'd have to do some serious study before I buy into that idea! 

Regardless, when my mom came to visit us in 2011, we rented a car and took her on a three-day excursion to Eilat, which is located on the northern tip of the Red Sea. (Aqaba in Jordan is Eilat's "twin" city, separated by a no-man's land.) Eilat has a marvelous Dolphin Reef and we went there one balmy afternoon.  

I remember that day as lazy and so relaxing. It is not often that I do nothing for an entire afternoon but doing nothing seemed like the right thing at the Dolphin Reef.
