back in Cairo

April 29^th

We got off the train and caught a ride back to the hostel, got cleaned up and went on a tour to the Citidel....which in hindsight weren’t quite sure why other than it was on our schedule to do so. The Citidel is the highest point of Cairo and it houses a huge Mosque made of Alabaster which stays cool in the hot Egyptian sun. We took our shoes off before we went in to explore. They have amazingly large crystal chandeliers and these other 365 lights for the days of the year.

After the Mosque we were taken to a few different churches one of which Joseph and Mary stayed at for a few days while in Egypt. After churches we headed to the Cairo Egyptian Museum where they have many mummies and artifacts from tombs and the pyramids. They also store the King Tut exhibit. It was a very impressive museum, however we are pretty tired and over stimulated at this point and really just want to go have a rest with some quiet away from people at this point. So we made our way back to the hostel to chill out for a while.
