Hello everyone. I can't write a very long message right now because I have to catch a train to Aswan shortly. It's a 14 hour train ride so I'll arrive in Aswan around 12pm tomorrow.
Yesterday Alex and me went to see the Egyptian Museum which is suppose to take up to two days to explore but it only took us a little under three hours. The best part was the King Tut section where we saw his mask and everything that was buried in his tomb with him (toys of gold, beds of golds, gold thrones, gold everything). After the museum we headed to Coptic Cairo, which is the old Christian area of Cairo. We walked around the area looking at the different christian churches built a long time ago and also visited the 'hanging church' which was originally built suspended over the Nile (but the Nile has since change areas and doesn't run along that area any more). After that we haggled with a taxi driver to take us to the Citadel, but upon arriving we decided not to enter (not worth the price of the ticket) so we caught another taxi to an island in the Nile to get some dinner. The restaurant was awesome. I've been trying lots of egyptian food while I've been here and I really like (but I don't think I could eat it everyday though). Every time I go out to eat I always try something new and so far I've liked all of it. TTYL. LoveYa.
