EGYPT


mosque (muslim temple) in the Citadel. Just so you know egypt has roman catholic churches jewish churches and muslim churches there in Cairo. While we toured around the catholic churches we found a church where the holy family hid. That means Joseph Marry and Jesus hid in the tomb bellow this church. They were keeping Jesus safe from being murdered.



Whirling Dirvish. He spun around for about 30 minutes. Talked to us while doing it. Then did tricks while he spun after that. Poored water into a glass drank it all while spinning. Then he walked around to every table and spun his skirt over his head with one hand for like another 20 min

Nat in front of our nile cruise boat.





The Hostel offered breakfast. It was lots of hoggie like bread with jam and cheese and hot tea.














on our way to a tomb. Paint was made from berries and flowers and is still intact today. No glass covers it. Hands can touch it. and it looks this good.








Im super clostrophobic and going through this tomb was very hard for me. I almost had a panic attack. I could feel my breath getting deeper and faster. My head raced with thoughts like what if I cant get out? Wont if people wont get out of my way fast enough?









can you hold a pot on your head while making and flipping flat bread?










golden grill anyone? Thier fancy drink was a large goblet full of pureed fruit they called juice. I chose mango with strawberry. It was the most delicious thing Ive ever had.











can you see me standing on the bottom row of blocks on the pyramid? wearing a pink shirt.












Each block was about as high as just under my boobs and about as wide as the length of both of my arms out.

The street Market went for miles. Bargaining is a must. It was said that when the egyptians bargain they take at least an hour to ponder and they do it over tea.
