Home Again, Home Again

Above - Because my camel driver wasn't the greatest photographer (he cut my head off in 4/5 pictures taken), I took a picture of my shadow while on my camel on Thursday, Jan. 21st.

I am very sore, very tired, and all smiles after returning from this fantastic journey to Egypt. I averaged about 150 pictures or so a day, took some great videos of Egyptian daily life and of the sweeping views of ancient temples, and I tried a lot of new things - including riding a camel, smoking a hookah, and haggling.


My original plan of blogging whilst in Egypt didn't work out so well as only the Sofitel El-Gezirah had regular, free access to the Internet and we were kept so busy, that I barely had time to relax and process each day's events, let alone blog about them during the total three days that we were at the hotel.

On the M/S Tulip, the Nile cruise ship we were on from Friday, Jan. 15th until Friday, Jan. 22nd, the Internet was about $7 for a half hour and the connection was iffy at best.

So I've kept a careful log of each day's events, as well as each day's pictures and videos, so that I can share them now that I'm back in the States, where the Internet flows freely. My plan is to post on the corresponding day what happened while on the trip, so tomorrow I will post what happened on the first Monday of the trip, the day after will be about the first Tuesday's events, and so on and so forth. The really good stuff won't be reached until Wednesday, but the short posts on Monday and Tuesday will give me time to catch up, prepare for classes, and prewrite some of my blog posts. That, and it'll build a little anticipation.
