So Tanzania and Egypt were really cool. Egypt was nice. There was some kind of random white cheese at every meal and the eggs were white. Somehow in my confused state upon leaving Tanzania (an overnight flight across the equator...as you all know this is very disorienting) I thought eggs turned brown when you cooked them and all the eggs in Egypt were raw.

Anyway, all the monuments were nice, and the Red Sea was really cool. Camels impressed me as being cute stupid smelly dogs with tiny ears, supermodel eyelashes, and opposable nostrils. They also made some sort of horribly loud gurgling noise like the water dispensers that you have at offices. Like some other organisms I have heard about, you make kissing noises at them to make them move faster. I rode a camel up Mt. Sinai, but it was a grumpy old camel and kept stumbling and farting.

That didn't ruin the romance though. Mt. Sinai was beautiful, but it was so cold!. We are off to Bulgaria where it is even colder. I think we might just die. I hope everyone is doing well and that readjustment is going smoothly (or at least as smoothly as can be expected).

Miss you all,
