| Night boat ride on the NILE |
I’ve never used as many forms of transportation as I did in Egypt. Favorite moments included
- sailing across the Nile river
- the extra-long camel ride while sucking sugarcane from the fields
- racing in a horse carriage down the busy Luxor streets
-the train ride that included hopping from one train cart from another
-the hippie taxi van that had shag carpet seats and beads and icons across the dashboard
-the fluka (boat) night ride down the Nile
- the bike ride in the busy city and then moving one street over and seeing the real way people lived (every time I went over a bump a screw fell out of my bike).

Egypt has left a mark and a stamp on my heart. Coming home it was a little crazy; we saw the remains of the previous night’s riots (burned cars, and tires, smoke from far off buildings) and were glad to have our EXODUS from Egypt. I was so relieved and happy to be back to Jerusalem. There will be nothing like the first time arriving to Jerusalem but coming into the city I felt safe. This is my refuge…Jerusalem is a part of me…Jerusalem is my home.
WOW. I would love to be doing what you're doing, but after reading your blog, I realized that mostly, I'd love to hang out with you. You have a way of making everything fun.
