Egypt was fantastic... and so are finals (okay, maybe not that)

It's been about a week and a half since I returned to Israel from Egypt, which means that I've finally gone through most of the pictures from the trip! I would love to write a comprehensive blog detailing the trip, but there is simply too much to say. I do have to say, however, that this trip was one of the highlights of my time in the middle east and indeed all of college! Seeing the Pyramids, Karnak temple, Luxor temple, Valley of the kings, the Colossi of Memnon, Banana Island, the Egyptian Museum, and Petra (that's in Jordan, not Egypt :D) was incredible, but what made the trip so memorable were the adventures along the way. There are simply so many stories to tell of haggling with Egyptians who barely speak English, almost getting run over twice every time we crossed the street, shady hotels, overnight train rides from Cairo to Luxor, getting ripped off on Banana Island, and staying in an apartment owned by an (and arguably THE) Israeli drug lord. Hopefully the pictures will convey some of the fun that we had on this trip. Enjoy!
