Egypt Update

Hellos all,

Thanks for checking back! I am now in Egypt!!! Have arrived here a couple of days ago, and just took the night train to Aswan and arrived this morning. Finally got to shower. Walking around in a desert all day is tiring and dirty, so this shower was a. maz. ing. :)

My few days in Germany was very fun and relaxing. We stayed with my friend, Carmen, relatives and they spoiled us with foods. Lots of it. They also had 4 little kids, ages 10, 7, 6 and 3. They were so much fun, and had so much energy. I won't be posting any pictures yet, the connection is a little slow and internet costs money. But, here is a brief update of what I have been up and will be doing (I took it out of an email I send home -- yes, I am lazy)

Enjoy!!!

Been in Egypt for a couple of days now. Though it seems to be longer. Egypt is awesome, it was a little intimidating at first, but now I think that we are getting more used to it.

The three of us stick out like sore thumbs, and feel somewhat like zoo animals being watched all the time. Though I just think it's cus they don't see a lot of Asian people around here. They are friendly and like to joke around a lot. We have all gotten a few marriage proposals. LOL.

One of my favourite pick up lines:
guy: Miss, you dropped something back there.
me: I did?
guy: Yes, miss. You dropped my heart. **holds hand to chest**

Too funny.

We went to see the Pyramids yesterday and I rode on a camel! The pyramids are so huge and it was really amazing. At midday, it is extremely hot in Egypt, although it is dry and not humid at all.

Last night we took a night train to get to Aswan. Here we will be visiting some temples and the High Dam. And there IS such thing as Kom Ombo!! Its a small place with a temple there and we are going there in a few days. We will also be riding along the Nile on a Felucca.
