Alexandria

Fri. (28th)
Alexandria field trip
Today we took a bus to Alexandria for the day. It was nice to get outta the city for day and see the ocean. I love love love the beach and pretty much any big body of water, Cairo doesn’t really have any of that, except for the Nile, but that’s not the same.

On the way to the Alexandria, we stopped at the Lion’s Den. Which is a weird petting zoo type place. There were tigers, llamas, ducks and a collection of dogs. Yes dogs. Everything from labs to huskies, all in cages just like the rest of the animals- I guess dogs are exotic here.

In Alexandria, some of went to get swimsuits so that we could try to go in the ocean. I ended up getting the most ridiculous bikini that looked like I stole it from a pre-teen from the early 90’s…. it was great. I didn’t end up going swimming because it was taking forever to figure out how to actually get onto the beach, so instead I went on a search for ice cream and ice coffee with Doug and Lauren. My coffee was a hilarious fail of an ice coffee. Somehow ice coffee came out as blend ice and milk with coffee beans in the bottom. Sigh, oh Egypt.
