Cairo, Egypt

We arrived in Cairo, Egypt yesterday. As our plane started it's decent we could see the pyramids and sand for as far as the eye could see. Egypt has been very exciting! Starting with our taxi ride from the airport to our hotel.

We are enjoying our hotel resort and as I type up this post Craig and I are enjoying a coffee and mango smoothie outside in one of the resort cafe's.

The temperature is very comfortable, at least at 9:28 in the morning. It is dry, obviously we are in desert country, and there is a nice breeze.  I think it will be warming up . . . we'll see how it is at 3 in the afternoon.  

This afternoon and evening we are going shopping at the Cairo Mall. Tomorrow we are doing a full day at the Egyptian Museum and then to Giza for the pyramids. Walk like an Egyptian . . .

  2. Hooray! I bet you guys are having a blast. I don't think you need to be reminded, but I expect to see plenty of pictures of pyramids, temples, camels, and all other things Egyptian.

    Also, let me know if Egyptians think the pun, "denial is not just a river in Egypt" is funny. None of my students think it's funny.
