Today was pretty fantastic.

First, last night. We got in late last night, a man from the hotel met us in the airport, did a great job getting us through, comfortable bus ride over, into one of the nicest hotels we've stayed in the whole time. Separate beds, shower, wonderful.

Stayed up late last night taking advantage of the free wireless, woke up early thanks to Allen not fixing his watch for the time zone, but that's life. Ate a decent breakfast at the hotel. Then off to the Egyptian Museum.

Holy cow.

We saw SO much. Nate, Becky and I stuck together most of the time, I really liked how it was set up chronologically. You started in Old Kingdom and moved through. I recognized some, but by no means all, learned a lot. Really really cool. We didn't have much time upstairs, unfortunately, but we still saw a fair bit of the King Tut stuff. Some absolutely beautiful jewelry, amazing sculptures and hieroglyphs, amazing carvings. Just awesome all around. Wish I could have taken my camera in. Some people had sketchbooks, which are awesome.

We took a break to try to find some quick food. The restaurant there was way too expensive, so we tried to go out to find a place. There... well, we're about to go out, I'll wrap this up later.
