egypt.. the best of alexandria

We are in EGYPT!!! Its our 7th port already!! Only one more! This trip is so close to over!!

So for our first day in egypt Kristi and I had a sas trip- the best of Alexandria.

We started off the day at 10 and going to the catacombs.. which were pretty cool but very eerie! Then we went to the national museum in Alexandria, we saw a mummy here!!! Then after the museum we went to lunch! I was very hungry by this time! And lunch was really yummy surprisingly.  So at the beginning of our day our guide, Mona, told us the main dish for lunch was going to be fish!!!!!! AHHH!!!! Noooooooo!!! To my relief though, she followed this statement by saying that if we did not want fish our other option was beef! Phewww that was close, I panicked a little that I was going to have to eat fish!

Lunch was really good! And I tried fish! TWICE!!! You should all be soooo incredibly proud of me.. when we got there they had all sorts of sauces for the pita bread they had for us and then they brought out some fried cheese ball things that were not good.. and then fried fish pieces… so I took a bite of it to try it out.. I squeezed a lot of lime on it to make it much better! And then I got my beef that had rice too and it was really yummy probably the best and the only actually real meat ive had all summer! And Kristi had taken the fish option so I took a bite of that.. it wasn’t bad.. not totally fishy, but I still didn’t like the texture, therefore I still wasn’t much of a fan.

After lunch we went to the Library of Alexandria!! SOOOO COOL! The best library in the world.. really like nothing can compare to it!  we got a tour of it and had a little time to look around but not nearly enough time.. its 7 floors!! Four of the floors are below sea level and three above.. Kristi and I decided we want more time to explore there so on our open day on Friday we are going to go back there! And even better they have free internet access and its only 5 egyptian pounds for students to get in! which is 1 u.s. dollar!!!!! Sooo worth it! 

After the library we made a few stops for pictures and then headed back to the ship.. we ate dinner and now are watching a movie… guess what movie!!!

PRINCESS AND THE FROG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D  =D 

Soooo excited! Love this movie, Mykaela would be proud of me =)

Alright im going to get back to watching my movie! Tomorrow I have my sas overnight trip to cairo!  I get to see the pyramids! The #1 most visited archeological site in the world.. (but Pompeii is the biggest, but hey ive been there this summer too =))  so point being I wont be blogging again till Thursday..
