Well I am here now (yay!). Nothing too much to report about the flight, except that Miss Lily Pritchard was right; I did pack too much stuff and had to pay $70 for my 'over weight luggage.' I will listen to your words of wisdom next time Lily. Oh and a woman on the plane thought I was 19-20 and asked how my parents felt about me flying such a long way by myself, I thought that was kind of funny. So I think after four nights of random sleep, I might be finally over my jet lag. But In that non-sleep period I did read a book in one night, unfortunately it was by no means a good book. Anyhow, my first real day I was taken to a house in paradise, we sat outside in a beautiful garden, ate, drank it was a pretty good first day.
Last night we (aunt, cousin, and I) went out to eat at a restaurant on a boat that sits perched at the bay of the Nile; it was delicious and surreal all at once.
The sun is bright and hot everyday, which is amazing, but apparently I am in for it in June and July... so it goes. The traffic is exactly as I remember, and every time I cross the street I feel like I am in a real life game of Frogger, it's a little crazy, but actually kind of fun.
The architecture amazes me daily. It’s amazing to see such beautiful old buildings juxtaposed with newer haphazard apartment buildings. I am constantly snapping pictures out the window of the car…
P.S This is the above mentioned garden...B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!
