Once again, I have to apologize for not posting on my blog for so long. This time I have a good reason. My computer has been in repair for several weeks, and it looks like I won't be able to use it until I go back the the states. So getting pictures online becomes more complicated. A lot has happened in the past month! At the very end of April, I went to Egypt for about 5 days. My friends and I spend most of our time in Cairo. We saw the Pyramids, which were slightly anti-climactic. Very cool, but definitely not the best part of the trip. I had a wonderful time with my friends Hannah and Rachel, and I hope you enjoy these pictures.


Me and Hannah...and one of the Pyramids


Hannah, Rachel, me, and the Sphinx


We spent a lot of time at Khan el Khalili Market. This is our friend Said and his glass shop. He had the most beautiful glass, and we had to get really creative with packing all our fragile purchases.


Entering the Khan el Khalili Market. I'm not in this picture...


They sold all kinds of beautiful crafts and antiques


Don't wake him up, Hannah!


Some women going into the amazing, huge library in Alexandria.


Rachel taking a picture in the citadel in Alexandria


Us in the catacombs


I'm not sure why I decided to bend over like this...


Me, Rachel, and Hannah at El Fishawy, the best place to hang out and people watch in the entire world. Oh, and the Turkish coffee isn't half bad either.

Yeah! I love seeing new pictures on your blog! I can't wait to see you when you come home!

There is a restaurant in the couve called Jerusalem Cafe - we have made friends with the owner, Iman. He always brings us Baklava and Turkish coffee after our meal. Mmm mmm good!

Greetings,
my name is Andy Kuhn and I came across your blog via websearch, and I was wanting to begin a brief correspondance.

I am in the process of interviewing with NICS and Trevor has me penciled in as being a Social Studies teacher at WNS.

As is natural I have questions, and many of which I think you can answer. I am praying for direction in this process and words from you could really help. I hope to hear from you.

if you could shoot me an email I would be very grateful.

hey sis! I'm real jealous of you getting to see Egypt. You are my hero. I'm also real excited to see you! you're gonna be home soon! I read your blog about the Masai people making a "blockade" and forcing you to pay them money. I can't believe that. But I'm glad you made it through that safely. I feel like my life is so menial compared to all your adventures, heh. I just wanted you to know that I love you and I am praying for you. Get back to the US safely.
