I landed in Cairo a few hours ago, and this posting must be brief, because I hardly slept at all on the plane. It seems like I'm going to really enjoy my time in Egypt. I might leave in the morning for the White Desert for a night in sleeping bag in the desert, but I'm not entirely sure.
People drive like maniacs here, although it's only slightly worse than downtown Chicago. The people I've met at the hostel have been really nice and welcoming. We all sat down for a cup of tea and chatted about the protest that happened in Cairo today, racism, and Obama. It was a good way to start my trip. My flight was long, but I got to watch City Slickers (throwback), so it was OK, I suppose.
I tried to make some phone calls before I got on the plane yesterday, but I didn't make it to everyone, so I thought I would post on here to let everyone know that I am safe and sound for my first night in Cairo. I will post pictures soon, and a more elaborate entry when I'm feeling more up for it.
Love to you all!
