... and listening to Tom Cochrane rock out. It was pretty unbelievable and we stayed a bit longer to take in the first hour of the concert. We'd noticed about 50 giant tour buses - which had been used to transport the Lordco people to the show - and decided we should leave before the concert finished. We found two taxi drivers who were willing to drive us back to the city and off we went, the end to a wonderful and full day of adventure in Cairo.<br>

... I was already off the camel and walking away. I should mention that we each gave our guide an extra $30 or so dollars the first night so that he could take care of tips in situations like this. It ended up being one of the smartest things we did since we never seemed to have small bills ("toilet money" as they quickly became known) when we really needed them. Luckily the Egyptian pound is worth next to nothing so we were all generous with one another when ...

... many tourists are on exactly the same trip. The Columbian girls, especially the crazy one, stick out, to say the least. They had put in an appearence at Abu Simbel dressed, as Jessica put it, like total "hoochie mamas." All of the other boats on the bank of the Nile that night had done Abu Simbel the day before and were headed to the same temples on the way to Luxor the next day. GAP was the "non-party" boat, but we were all on basically the same tour ...

... and have no doubt that my relationship with these close Jewish friends is also related to my interest in the Middle East and the Israeli-Palestinian "question." I'm getting eaten alive by hungry Egyptian mosquitos (I'm not a fan of Egypt, if you haven't noticed yet) and have about 2 minutes left of internet use, so I'll sign off for now. Wish me luck in getting to Tel Aviv! Peace-salaam-shalom

... others to join in the festivities. Went to the wedding, where we found out that the wedding wasn't going to take place till Monday, and today's event was sort of like family and friends of the groom celebrating the upcoming nuptials. It was a great time, we got fed, we danced with the kids and watched the kids and grown men dance. <br>   Days like this is why I don't like planning for the weekends, things always pop up when you don't expect it.  

... tourist-y areas I would feel different. I can't recommend an extended visit to Egypt...I would even consider a package tour to limit my interaction with the locals! ~~~GASP..the horror~~~ <br><br>*Let's be honest, the Middle East is one ****in' polluted, dirty place. It's sad that Arab culture seems not to value cleanliness. I'm not referring to personal hygiene (although in many cases I guess I am). There is rubbish EVERYWHERE. The roadsides ...

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com)<br>< br>Melissa and Nicole decided to join us as the five of us hailed two taxis to take us to the Marriott Hotel. Like old pros we arranged a price of LE5 for the journey across town with the drivers, and the only non-Arabic word we used was &#8216;Marriott&#8217;. Things had changed so much from the novices on their first day in the country ...

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com)<br>< br>It didn&#8217;t take us long to first get acquainted with the concept of the Egyptian &#8220;five minutes&#8221; &#8211; and Paul and I had only been in Egypt for not much more than five minutes when it happened. After flying through the afternoon and evening we had landed in Cairo at 1am and were trying to get through passport control. The officials were paying particular attention to Paul&#8217;s ...
