next leg of my trip. I have been fighting sickness but I am hopefully
on the mend! I am waiting to take a hydrofoil boat to the island of
zanzibar in the Indian ocean!
I was ready to say goodbye to Cairo today. It was an incredible
experience and it really started to grow on me. The people make Egypt
what it is. They are so warm friendly and inviting.
On friday we attended Friday prayer at masjid el noor or the mosque of
light. We had a large discussion with the sheikh and a tour of the
mosque. The men and women split up and the women went upstairs to a
large room with small windows looking down at the imam an sheikh. We
were so welcomed. Many many women and children came down the line to
shake hands and say hello. One little girl tried that about five
times! Although the entire service was in Arabic I could pick out a
few words thanks to the certificate that I got saying I passed
beginner Arabic! Woo!
The time at the mosque was so incredible. There were so many women and
children gathered praying it was very powerful. Till next time love
you all. Time for breakfast!
