Starting a little late...

I kinda meant to start this before coming to Egypt, but better late than never!

This is what I've done so far:

5/2-5/4
- Good-bye BBQ dinner and an awesome chocolate chip pancake breakfast- you guys are amazing! I miss you all so much!
- Flight from Boston to Frankfurt. (7+ hours)
- Checked out the McDonald's in the Germany airport with Meg, coffee was like 5 bucks (boo exchange rates!).
- Flight from Frankfurt to Cairo. (4+ hours)
- Arrived at the Flamenco Hotel and tried my first slice of Egyptian pizza, which was actually pretty good! 

5/4- 5/10
- Overnight train to Aswan.
- Bus to Luxor
- Flight back to Cairo
- We saw at least 8 temples and tombs, including King Tut's (awesome!), pictures to come later.

5/11
- Pyramids of Giza.
- We rode camels to the pyramids, tried to make a human pyramid and and stuffed ourselves on some fantastic Egyptian pita, dips and kabobs at lunch.
- Shesha with the locals.

Our class basically ran around for the past week doing as much touristy stuff as possible and we're back in Cairo where we will be taking classes for the remainder of our trip.

I'll be in two classes here, a photography class and an international affairs class. I'm pretty stoked for both and will upload pictures soon! (i promise!)
