Day ???

We are having such an amazing time we lost track of days. We have been on the run since day 1. We transitioned from Cairo to Alexandria today. Cairo was like NYC but three times more crowded and lawless driving. None of us have ever seen anything like it.

The Rotaracts and Rotarians took great care of us. The pyramids and sphinx were even more breathtaking than any of us could imagine. As that was great, the highlight was probably having lunch all together at a restaurant, sharing great stories and laughs. It is ironic because Egyptians do not want the US to percieve them as camel riding people that live in a pyramid. The funny part is, they are very right. Instead, they have great fashion, great cars, and even better, great personality.

We went to a party in which all of us dressed in the traditional gallebeas and had meat cooked in a pit. The food is great! I was hoping to lose weight here, but I'm afraid at this pace it is impossible.

Today, we arrived in Alexandria to a warm welcome....a beer. We were hosted by the President of the Alexandria Club, he just happens to sit on the board at Heineken in Africa. We were all exhausted from Cairo but this brought great life to us. We have a busy week planned. The days keep getting better and better. Haven't had a bad one.

We are very grateful for the kindness the Cairo Rotarians that took care of us.

I would say the only down fall is that we are exhausted. We were warned of this and just keep on pushing eachother, and relying on eachother. And it's great!

Masalama!
