Highlights so far...

1. We were eating at this restraunt (like the one we ate at in Mexico, run by the Mayans) and i went to the bathroom and the girl selling toliet paper was so nice. I'm guessing she was about 9, and I talked to her in arabic for awhile while I waiting and then she put flowers into my hair. When I left she kissed me and said that she loved me. It was very cute. Pretty much the highlight of my Day.

2. I just went to this grocery store and there was this little girl in a full burka (minus the face part), she was about 4 and she was with her Dad. He got for her this minature cart that was her size and let her do the shopping and he showed her how to pay. It was really cute. And very different. The Dad was in designer jeans etc and looked very modern and then his daughter was dressed extremely traditional. I'm guessing Saudi. She was a very happy little girl though, so excited to feel grown up.

3. I'm really glad that i have such modest clothing. I feel so much more comfortable. When we go to tourists places there are a bunch of Europeans and some are dressed like sluts...seriously in the U.S. they would be considered slutty. Obviously they didn't get the memo about this being a conservative country.

4. Drivers dont know how to use lanes...i'm pretty sure they try and line up the center of their car with the white line. haha Its crazy! And they don't have pedistrian crossing and so we have to cross streets that are packed with cars driving pretty fast or at least a lot of them (the traffic here is worse than NYC) and so what you have to do is walk into it and then just pray they don't hit you. Picture walking across Montono or 528 or Southern during a very heavy rush hour. Its hard to explain so i'll just make a video for you. Its nerve racking but kinda exhillerating...like riding a rollar coaster.

5. I saw Sakara (The Step Pyramid) and went into a tomb, went to the Eyption Museum and saw all King Tuts stuff. I still can't figure out how to get my pictures from the camera to the computer and so I don't know when you'll get to see them.

6. At the pyramids we saw the funniest sight...a guy with a broom. They have a sweeper in the middle of the desert. haha. We tried to get a picture but he disapeared before we dug out our cameras.

7. I like it here. Its pretty neat.
