Egypt Tomorrow!

We actually had 2 days in between Bulgaria and Egypt so yesterday was back to a regular day at sea with classes.  We did yoga again in Stress Management so that felt good to stretch out a little.  I also got my second Cross-Cultural Psych paper back and got an A on it so that was exciting and everything seems to be going good with classes.  Today we had more class.  It was weird to have back to back classes since we haven’t had them all month, but I guess it is getting us ready for the long way back across the Atlantic.

We had another pre-port meeting tonight – hard to believe it is our second to last one.  We learned a lot about how Egypt (especially Cairo) is going to be really dirty, polluted, and have a lot of poverty.  It will definitely be something interesting to see.  It is also supposed to be scorching hot, especially in Luxor, and it will be challenging to stay hydrated because we can only drink bottled water.  We even have to brush our teeth with bottled water so that we don’t get sick.  With all the warnings that we got I am very glad to be on a SAS sponsored trip the entire time so that I know I will get to see everything and do it as safely as possible.

Tomorrow when we get to Egypt I am going on a 5 day SAS trip to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel.  We are visiting all the sights that you could think of that are in Egypt plus many more.  I have probably been looking forward to Egypt the most out of all the countries and I cannot believe we will be there tomorrow!  I’m not bringing my computer so I will probably not be able to update, but you can know that tomorrow night I will be watching the sunset at the pyramids!!
