Cairo is AWESOME! I cannot describe in the short time I have to post this message how amazing and wonderful it is!! The flight over here was long, and painful, with little sleep, but all of that is far behind me now as I have experianced this first day! The people of Cairo are wonderful people, all of them are very nice, and they get huge grins on their faces when a forginer greets them in their own language. I am quickly gaining a new appreciation and love for the Arabic language, and I have only been here a day!! I am excited to continue to learn and experiance many new things! For the comfort of my parents, I will say that there is nothing more dangerous in all of Egypt than the mainstreet I've crossed about 10 times today. Each time you see your life flash before your eyes. Pretty soon, I won't have any trouble recalling the entirety of my life!! I must go now, next time I will alot more time for posting. I hope everyone back home is well, and despite the great time I am having I miss yall!

I guess it is a good thing that Angelina has prayed for your safety twice so far today!
I'm so glad that you are there safely and having a good time. Can't wait to hear more.
It's great that you're enjoying your time in Egypt already! Although we miss your company here (Mario Kart is so much quieter without you around.... ;D), it sounds like an amazing trip. Oh, we might be getting another baby kitty (Who will be even tinier than Bella!)<3 The rule: No eating him!!!
Well its good to know you stick out like a sore thumb there. They all know you are a foreigner! I am glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself, and that you are being treated well. Just remember, just because you may run across an infidel, it does not give you right to slay them. Oops I forgot to speak slowly and in small words that would be easier for you to understand.
Glad you made it safely. I can't believe you are in Egypt! Have an adventure for me, will ya?
I found a blog from another student on the trip where we can get additional info on what is going on. http://www.freewebs.com/egyptsummer/travellog.htm
