Back In Egypt

Yay! I'm here again and boy is it hot! I had a great trip, flying through Amsterdam where I had a 9 hour layover. I took advantage of such a chunk of time and got out of the airport to tour the city a little. I got to see Anne, Frank's hiding place, see how wooden clogs are made and even clunk around in a pair among other things. It was a very beautiful city and the tour made me want to go back for a real visit. I arrived in Cairo at 4am where my poor brother was waiting for me. We have been going going going since I got here and my jet lag is worsening over time. Hopefully I will get some sleep tomorrow. Today Matt(my brothers friend and now my friend) and I went downtown to get re-entry visa's and then hit the Cairo museum. I could not believe the amount of ancient artifacts that were in there. So mnay that some stuff was just propped up in corners and other random places. I found my favorite Shwarma stand today and ate up. Shwarma is this seriously delicious grilled beef with grilled tomatoe and onion and tahini sauce to top it off. mmmm. Tonight at church we had some lively African worship which I didn't get to fully participate in because I am wearing a very full skirt that was picking up all the airflow of the 89 ceilling fans whirring above me. Needless to say I had to keep my hands at my side to prevent my skirt from going over my head in the middle of the service. What a disaster that would have been. Tomorrow morning I will be sure to wear pants so I can groove to the music. Sorry this isn't very funny or entertaining right now as I am still in a bit of a sleepless daze! Peace ya'll!
