Day 1

Alright...
This is EIGHT hours of sleep in THREE days.

Eh emm...

I've been having a WONDERFUL time here in... Egypt.

Yesterday/This morning I was in Amsterdam.
That was absolutely amazing.
We basically used the buddy system and wandered off on our own.
They had some crazy music festival while we were there too, which was cool.
Cait and I accidently ended up in a very interesting area...
I deffinitely had a woman shake her botty in my face, and... there was some serious exposure.
---Oh, and... That city is really beautiful.
I mean, the buildings and statues, just everything...
We saw so much there... I wishI had brought my journal here withy me in the cafe.
I had a huge list of things we saw...
I'll have to add it later on.
I only have so much time in here anyway.

Other than AMSTERDAM...
This is my first day in Cairo.
Our hotel room is interesting.
--The veiw is fantastic. We opened up the curtains and I think every jaw was on the floor.
We're right on the nile and you can see the pyramids clearly in the distance.
Just amazing.



Tomorrow our host families pick us up. YES! :-)
I'm so tired right now.
I have the worst headache, but... the food's good!
I have no idea what it is most of the time... but it's good.

I accidently used tap water while brushing my teeth.
Pray for me, or something.

No one has bottled water, so I'm getting a little thirsty after dinner here.
I've been chewing gum for salivation purposes, so that... at least I don't feel so thirsty.



The city is so crazy.
These women walk around like look just like everyone else, and then out of no where someone will be wearing full blown cover, and only their eyes willl show.
They, I must say, are incredibly scary.
Or in the words of Sharif, "I mean, you don't know what's down there."
Hahahaha...

Speaking of people....
I've made some good friends here. Some American, some Egyptian.
They're all great. --and Egyptians seem to be all full of energy, or maybe I feel that way because of my LACK of energy at the moment.

It's almost nine, and I should probably get to bed.
--Just wanted to update everyone on the current situation!!!!

Ah, and about pictures...
Maybe when I find a computer with a slot for the memory card.

I hope everyone is doing well back at home.
KNow that I'm havgin a WONDERFUL time here.
It's all new and exciting. :-)
