So this weekend turned out to be one of the most relaxing we've had thus far. We slept in, caught up on homework and spent most of our time sitting next to the ocean. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, when you're sitting next to the beach and soaking up the sun, its quite difficult to pull yourself away. School is going well, not sure how much I'm actually learning but its the people I've met that are most important. Perhaps one of my favorite people thus far is Sayid, our friend that works in the accessory store down the street. We invited him to the beach with us yesterday and from the look on his face you would have thought we offered him the world. While he doesn't really speak English and I have to rely on Hebs to translate what he is saying, he is none the less, precious. He was obsessed with my camera and as you'll see from facebook, took about a million pictures of our beach day. The people here are so friendly and honestly we've known them such a short amount of time and yet I know that if we needed something or had any sort of problem in the city, they would be next to us in a heart beat. Like I said before, the only thing that matters to the Egyptian people are their families and friends. Once you're a friend you're in for life.
Back to school for now, more updates later.
Love you guys!
