Egypt, finally.

Spring Break '09 is going down in the history books.

I went to Egypt.

And came back to Israel in time for Passover. Poetic, right?

Rachel, Jenny, Mischa, Jess and I braved a whole new continent in our quest for fun, and definitely succedeed.

We were there for 5 days, and as such, there are way too many stories to tell on a single blog, so I'll outline a brief itinerary of the trip and then go into anecdote mode.

Day 1:

• Cross border, get cab to Cairo (6 hours across the Sinai)
• Get utterly lost and have no way to communicate that we need to find our hostel
• find hostel
• visit Khan al-Khalili (bazaar a few blocks from our hostel)

Day 2:

• PYRAMIDS
• SPHINX
• CAMEL RIDE

Day 3:

• ALEXANDRIA
• Library
• Citadel
• Fish Market lunch
• Catacombs
• Sufi Dancing (I think it was this day...)

Day 4:

• Egypt Museum (MUMMIES)
• Nile ride

Day 5: Go home :(
