St. Katherine’s– Cairo, Egypt
We were woken at 7:00 by a wakeup call. Even though I was not tired I struggled to get out of bed because it was so cold in our room. At 7:30 I met everyone else for breakfast in the lobby. It was a large, buffet style breakfast.
At 8:00 our minibus came and picked us up from the hotel. After securing our bags to the roof we started the 7-hour drive to Cairo. Amazingly, we only had 2 stops (lunch and pee).
It was a very long trip. Luckily, the bus was quite spacious and I had room enough to get into a supine position. We also passed the time by quizzing one another on movie trivia (B and I were by far the best) and doing crosswords out of a book. Sometime during the drive I was permitted to rename Mel’s stuffed animal Toe (it’s a camel…).
At 15:30 we arrived at Hotel Victoria in Cairo. The plan for the rest of the night is to use the internet, get some food, and get some rest. All in all it was an uneventful day of travel.

Supine....? Nice vocab! It reminds me of that project we did in Biology.

I'm beginning to realize that Camel Toe is a recurring theme in this trip.
I miss you!
