I wish I could write a more detailed report but alas time is of the essence and `I am taking off pretty soon. `I guess the stories of Egypt will just have to wait until another time. Here is however a fever brief synopsis of the week in Egypt and the logging off of Kenya.
Josh, Nicole and I all had a wonderful and very hot time in Egypt. It was an amazing trip and one I will never forget. On our way we had a ten hour layover in Addis Ababa Ethiopia so we took some time to see the city and from there Cairo. It was go go go from landing. We got to go to the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids and sphinx in Giza, we traveled to Aswan, Abu Simbel, and did the East and West Bank of Luxor. We really packed a lot into this one week and tried to see as much as Egypt as we could.
We saw lots pyramids, tombs, and temples and even got to go inside all of these. We even had some traveling buddies that we met on a train and traveled with for the next 3 days. It was a family from Argentina that decided to sell all they owned and travel for a year and a Spanish teacher from Portland. We now have a place to stay if ever we should grace the presence of these two places. We all got incredibly close and even had sad goodbyes. From Egypt we headed back to Kenya to start saying final goodbyes of see ya laters rather.
I have really struggled these past few days with the fact that it has actually come time to peace out of this place. As much as I am ready to get home and see family and friends, I am just as sad to say bye to a home, family, and friends that I have made here. I know that our paths will cross again someday.
I am now just a few hours from taking off and the stress is really weighing on me with these dang bags. I am just going to have to suck it up and pay the overweight fees. All of my Kenyan peoples, I love you all and will miss you but only for a short while.
This has been Whitney in the Motherland for the last time saying take care and God bless.
