Saturday, March 7, 2009

Well after 18 long hours of travel we made it. We landed about 9 pm local time last night. and made it to the hotel about 2 hours later. The traffic here is AWESOME....its total chaos!!!! people and cars everywhere, 5 lanes of traffic on a 4 lane road.
Today we went to the Cairo Tower, i will try and attach a couple pics, and Khan al-Khalili Market, its huge. We were woken up just before 5 this morning by the call to prayer that goes 5 times a day, its actually going on right now. Its been great so far. The people here are very friendly and helpful, we even met a Girl from Mississippi today, she lived in Fulton for a bit!!!! Were getting ready to go for dinner now. Going on a Dinner cruise on the Nile to see some belly dancing. For all of our Edmonton readers, HA! HA! it was 30 here today. Well thats the days up date. Tomorrows will be easier to read, nadine will write it, were going to the pyramids and the Egyptian Musem tomorrow. Bye for now
Love ya'll

Snowing here :-(
You're certainly missing the crappy weather here.
Munches is feeling frisky this morning, running around like a young rabbit.
Have a great time and post more pictures.
