well i did it. i went to egypt. as i sit here on the tuesday after i cannot believe it is over. my months of anticipation for this momentous event is complete. i have walked on ground that i only thought was reserved for my dreams. i had a great week. i loved the sun, the people, the sea, the museum and being amongst the pyramids. it was all very surreal and i came back much more appreciative of the life i live. i was again reminded that i have been thoroughly blessed to be from a country that allows me such great opportunities and also is clean and beautiful. cairo was definitely a reminder of this and an eye opener to how many people live. we all live different lives and have different challenges. i love being able to recognize this and make it a part of my life. i wish everyone could see what my eyes have seen.
following are 7 posts of the journal entries i wrote each day i was in egypt. i didn't ever want to forget my time there. today i spent typing them up. so if you want to know details from my trip read up! keep in mind its a journal entry...so formatted as such.
and yes, i did "walk like an egyptian".

Monica - I read every part of this trip, because you did something I wish I could do. In the future we will go again and you can be my tour guide. I commend you for being so brave and going there by yourself, that's scary. I loved every part of your journal entries. Brava!
I read all this trip too! I've wanted to go to Egypt so bad. Now, you've made me want to go more.
