Yesterday was spent at Cairo univarsity getting smarter about Cairo,
Egypt, and Islam. We had three professors speak to us who were
extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Then we spent the afternoon
walking around the Nile. Boy is it filthy. There is trash everywhere
and cars race by with no rules and not a care in the works except
their car horn. For dinner we went to a great egypian restaurant with
great food that led to a day spent in the bathroom and over dosing on
imodiim ( just kidding mom I followed the directions). But I made it
through the day without pooping in my skirt and other than that the
day was fabulous.
Arabic lessons... Sabbah el kheer! Many gorgeous old old mosques
and the crazy bazaar! The best comments: how can I take your money?
Are you from china? Me: No do I look like I am? Them: no but you are
( indicating short with his hand) I will lower price if you smile. My
thoughts: not enough!
Great fun! Then we sailed on the Nile( a much cleaner part than our
walk) it was lovely. Then I died on my bed and after an hour finally
moved to the shower. Here's hoping for less bathroom time tomorrow!
