First few days in Egypt 2008

Kevin and I arrived in Cairo around 1230 Monday, 6/9/08. We had a few mishaps getting through customes but managed to get through. After several calls to Bob (Kristina's roommate). we found our cab and went for the scarriest cab ride of my life. There are no lines or signal lights anywhere. The drivers just beep their horns to get around. We got to Kristina's about 1 hour later. The air quality is terrible and we are both suffering with sinus problems. The local pharmisit is next door and medication is real cheap. Nemo did very well on the flight and he was too tired to go to the museum today, but will go with us tomorrow.

Todays adventure was riding the Metro (subway). Kevin had to ride a seperate car from ours (the womens car). It was about 20 minutes into the city and then we ventured to the Museum for a wonderful private tour. Kristina needed to go over to the school, so instead of crossing 6 lanes of highway, we went back down into the subway and crossed under the highway then back up to other side to the school. Kevin and I will have nice strong

quads when we get home, all we do is walk and climb stairs every where. The trip today was wonderful.
