This morning we woke up in our new hotell. Last night was a short one for sleep dew to our gettingin late. It was 1:30 befor I got to bed last night so we all are a little tired today. I went to breakfast and inhailed some food. It was wonderful!! They had french toesed, asorment of pastries, arick bread and other breakfast food. It was nice to have some more fimilar breakfast food again. Tomaro I will try to get here earler so that I can have some time to eat it. After breakfast it was off to the bus where Magny our bus driver is waiting for us.

The first stop today is the Ciro museum. Here we went throu and saw many of the peaces that we had tocked about all week. There was so many neet things in side and was great to tack it all in. The building was built in the 1800’s and stored many neet artfacts, like the oldest mumey, gold masks, statues, first ihnset eyes, much much more. I realy injoyed the musum and getting to see all the artfacts. Osman took us on the hyper speed going throu the museum dew to us being so tired. We originly were going to do it in the evning / afternoon but decided we weould be better offf to do it in the morning.

The second stop was at the geza perimids. This was defenly one of the hilighs of the trip. Getting to see them inperson was amazing. They are so huge. One thing that suprized me is how close the cityis to them. I had expected them to be out in the desert mor than they are now. One of the facst ath puts things in prospective is that all 3 of the main perimids could mack a wall around the entire earth at teh equator.

Whall still at eh perimids we stoped by asnd saw the soler boadt. It was huge. It is sed to be the oldes know boat in the world. Finding all the parts tothis boad was an amazing finde and they did a wonderful job restoring the boat back to its original shape. They did anmazing job and was inpressive to finde somany of the pars in such great shape. This boat would have ben used to transoprt items to be stored int he toums of the Pharos.

Flolowing this we went to the jourly shop where I bought a few Cartushes with names inthem in hirglifpicks. We also stoped by a restrant and had some lunch. It apeard that Osman ate there quit a bit dew to the reactions on the faces of the people when we arived and how he was acting around them. It was an exslent lunch, defently a feast.

We also were able to go into a perimid in this area. It was reacly cool going dowin the differnt pasage waes and the steep cligm down and out of it. The roulms open up the thes larg places for stroing things in them. This is the only tperimid that has wrightings on the walls know today.

We also stoped by a toum that is like a house. This toum has the most perserved walls and coloring in the world. It was so butiful. We were not supost to tack photes any where around it but the gards were nice and let us have one person come in and tack photes for our school. They selected me and so I went in and quilly took photes. They turnd out wonderful. This was defenly one of the hilights of the day.

Then we went to the Step perimid and took photoes there. Here also is the oldest arched cling and the oldes wall that has bean reconstructed. With my backgound in arctecture this was espshuly neet to see.

Folowing our travales and sight seeing today we drove the bus to Osman’s home to see his family and to have some refreshments. This was a wonderful time. It was so neet to see him with his family and to get to meet his younges wich is about 18 moths now if I remimber corectly. We had sodas and cack there and sat around and tocked with his family. He has a realy nice place over looking the nile river in a aprtment building on the 6th flour. Osman and his wife met when she was on a tour and he ended up being the tour guide. Folowing that they started seeing eachother and the reast is history. Befor we left we had a short bible study and sang some somgs to his family. We ended with Lord bless you and keep you and the Greates Camands. Then as we were leaving Osman gave Anna a dalery for maring his younges. They were very quet together. We then sead our good bys to his family and Osman road back with us on the bus. I am realy going to miss him. He is a wonderful person. I gave him a cd of some accapela singing that I had with me so he can now here it every day. They may get to come visit our campous in Greece in first part of July befor he comes to the USA to California to do some teaching there. I pray that this works out and that we might have some more time to be with him and so he can see our place and worship with us here in chaple. Well we had to leave becaus the polece were getting upset for the bus being parked out on the highway for so long so we had to go. Osman then handed out roses to all the ladys and staff as we left on the bus. Tonight as we rode back to the hotell there was a wonderful sunset over the nile river.

Then it was back to the hotell for supper and then off to bed. I did some wrighting in jernal to ceach up for the week and then took a little break.

Tomaro we leave Egypt. It has ben a wonderful trip. I realy have gained a lot from it and was great to beable to tap into Osman knolage that he has. It is amazing this vas knolage on so many of the places and area. I will never forget the past week and all the expernces that I have expernced in my travles here. We have travled counles miles and wocked many more. Had 7 plain flights and now it is almos time to head back to our summer home in Greece. This is truly a wonderful place and I am going to realy miss my time that I have had in this wonderful land.
