Latest Adventure!

Hello Everyone!

I am sure that many of you would have already through my Mom... but I have safely returned from my latest adventure which was to Egypt! It was an amazing trip! Culturally speaking, very different than anywhere I have ever been. The country is so beautiful and has so much history it is impossible to not be completely captivated by it.

My trip began with 5 days in Cairo. I was able to see the crazy city life. From the massive houses of the wealthy to then many people living off the streets. I went to the Egyptian History Museum and also took a day to tour the Pyramids and Sphinx. While here, I took my first camel ride. I really enjoyed it!

After Cairo I traveled south with my friend Mina and his family. We went to his city of Asyut. Every person who saw me starred at my blatantly. That definately took some getting used to. Some friends informed me that I was probably the first American to be in the city for the last 10 years! The people were extremely friendly though, everyone wanted to learn a lot about me and where I was from.

After a couple days in Asyut we traveled to Horgada, which is an amazing little city right on the Red Sea. While here we took a safari in the desert and met Bedeowin people who live there. We had our second ride on a camel and shared a meal with the desert people. The next day we took a cruise on the Red Sea. Complete with snorkeling and swimming in the Rea Sea and the day at an island that was basically paradise!


Finally we heading down to Aswan where we toured the Great Dam and boarded our Cruise that brought us from Aswan to Luxor. We stopped periodically to see temples here and there. My last two days were spent in Luxor were we took a day ride in a Felucca on the Nile. Those who like to sail would surely enjoy this! We took a trip to Banana Island and then it was back to the Airport for me. I short little plane trip from Luxor to Cairo to Amsterdam to New York City and a train ride home and my trip was done.

Two weeks of amazing times. I would defiantly recommend Egypt to everyone. It is by far my favorite vacation destination to date! I have attached some pictures for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!!

I hope everyone is well! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
