We made it safely to Cairo yesterday, and we are already enjoying our time here. Ashley took us to her high school devo last night, and then we had the opportunity to ride a faluca (?) on the Nile River. We sailed and ate lunch, and the weather was beautiful. It's so nice to be the visitor with someone else to be in charge of entertaining. Ashley has a tentative itinerary for us, and we are thrilled to be along for whatever adventures we find.
This weekend we are going to hike up Mount Sinai. It still seems weird to say that those are our plans, but it's becoming more normal at the same time. The people here are welcoming and hospitable, which we greatly appreciate. I entitled this post 'Welcome IN Egypt' because that was the overhead greeting when we landed at the airport yesterday. Hilarious. Anyway, more to come...

February 22, 2008 3:15 pmI know that Mount Sinai is just a location but it is amazing to me that you will be in the place where actual Bible events occurred... Not to mention that the presence of God was there. Very cool. Have fun for me! M- dw hicks said...

February 24, 2008 6:11 pmHey, Angela! This is Lauren King. Andrew and I found your blog through someone else's blog a couple of weeks ago. It sounds like you and Michael are having so much fun! We are finishing up our time in Pasadena, CA in August and moving to Charlotte NC for Andrew to do his last year of architecture school. We are hoping to be back in Nashville by 2010 or 2011.- the kings said...
