Egypt: Highlights

Egypt 2006 August 10th, 2006 by Grace

Now that I’ve got that pesky airline thing out of the way I figured I’d try and sum up part of my trip in highlights.

*Blessing and loving the Sudanese children

*Seeing the Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx

*Taking my English students out to Chinese and Korean food

*Making friends with the guys at the English second-hand bookstore, to the point where he lets me look at the new books that haven’t even been shelved yet

*Taking a conversational Arabic course

*Exploring the Egyptian Museum

*Sailing on a felucca on the Nile at sunset

*Surviving the traffic of Cairo, where the ration of crosswalks to people is, I think, 1 to 16 million

*Climbing Mt. Sinai at night and watching the sunrise

*Snorkeling in the Red Sea

*Visiting the orphanage

*Making friends

*Feeling purposeful

*Feeling frustrated

*Feeling challenged

*Practicing submission

*Getting a lot of ideas for things to do back home!
