Class- day 1
Our classroom in Cairo....good thing there are only 7 of us
5/12:
We had our first day of class in Cairo, it was pretty much like every other first day where you spend alot of time talking about stuff, but not really doing too much.
Meg, Avery, Ana and myself got lunch at the Falafel (sp?) stand across the street from our hotel- so good! and so cheap!
In the afternoon we visited the American Embassy and went through ridiculous amounts of security. We weren't allowed to bring in anything electronic, had to walk through 3 metal dectors and handover our passports in order to get a vistor pass!
One of the kids on the trip (Matt) turned 21 today, so we celebrated by going to dinner at the Marriot by the Nile. They were nice enough to sit all 20-something of us and didn't give us a hard time about the fact that we brought our own birthday cake :-)
