Final Egypt

Things I learned and loved in Egypt:

1. Egyptian Museum has more things in it than you would ever think possible.
2. The pyramids are huge!
3. Camels spit.
4. Nothing is free in Egypt. They will tell you that to get on the camel is free, you get on the camel, and then charge you 20 dollars to get down.
5. Don't be offended if people ask you if you're married. They really get married young.
6. Felluca rides are romantic. Especially with friends.
7. Egyptian airways are strict. They will confiscate your fork and cork screw.
8. Favorite quote was when Sam was offered cocaine by a passerby. He declined, saying he didn't want to be hanged. The Egyptian responds, "You're American right? Egyptians not stupid. We would never hang AMERICAN tourists!"
9. Egyptians love John Trovalta and Obama.
10. Even SPF 75 doesn't protect this skin.
11. The Nile is not only the river of life for Egypt, it is absolutely stunning.
12. The pyramids are absolutely ridiculous impressive. I have no clue how they built them back then.
13. Egyptians aren't scary. They're just really friendly.
14. Egyptian wall carvings really look like the walk like an Egyptian dance move.
15. A man offered to buy me for camels. I'm proud of Kubin for not selling me.
16. The Nubians are people who are not Sudanese or Egyptian and have their own language that no one else knows. They also have really weird tribal dances. Brooke and I were part of one.
17. Egyptian food is rice and lamb. And DELICIOUS.
18. They hustle you hard to buy their stuff. It makes Canal Street look like the ultimate joke.
19. The cab drivers drive like they are drunk, high on shrooms, blind, and in a race. All rolled into one.
20. One of the best experiences of my life!
