very big, very old

'Very big and very old' is how a wiser man than me once described the pyrimads.
Giza was a bit of a zoo, lots and lots of people and cameras and maps.

Spent Four days in Cairo, really liked it.
The place is massive, crowded, and crazy busy.
The traffic lived up to the desciptions i'd heard. Completely mental. Completely.

I spent most of my time there just walking around for hours,
spent an hour and a half in the egyptian museum,
lonely planet suggests at least 2 full days.
Egypt has an overwhelmingly dense history,
there is just so much.
Pharonic, Islamic, Jewish, Coptic etc.

Went home via-Jordan, got a ferry across the red sea.
Parted it, I like to think.
I was on the ferry 7 1/2 hours before it left,
was a long day.

Back in Gaza now, new classes starting this week.
ohh and I have the runs!
Goodtimes.
