Hers and I finished had both of our finals on Monday. The only thing worse than five hours of finals in one day is having to handwrite five hours worth of finals in one day. At least they were relatively easy.
A few people had one more final left yesterday and then we had the official close of the program. So the scholastic part of this trip is now officially behind us. In a little more than an hour, we leave on our last safari. This one will be to the Masai Mara for the annual Wildabeast Migration. It's supposed to incredible, but even if not, Hers and I will still be happy to sleep in a better bed than one we have here at our apartment.
We get back from safari on Friday and Saturday we head out to Lamu. We get back from Lamu on Tuesday and change terminals (domestic to international) and head for London. This time next week, we'll be on our way back to the states.

London Pics
Yea, I know we're pretty slow with the pictures. We've got London Day 3, 4, 5, and 6 up now. Hopefully we'll get Day 7 up soon. As always, you can see the pictures here.
Egypt Day 2 Update
When you can't take pictures someplace, it's easy to forget you were there, especially when you're seeing so much. I almost forgot that prior to going to the perfume store on Day 2, we made a little stop at the Egyptian Museum. Unfortunately, cameras are not allowed inside, so we don't have any pictures.
The last museum we saw was the British Museum. The Egyptian Museum has a lot of stuff, so much that it would take you something like a year to get through if you spent one minute looking at each artifact on display. For every item on display, there is another item in a crate in the basement.
The Egyptian Museum is organized chronologically so that if you go to the left after walking through the entrance, you'll start with the Old Kingdom and eventually make your way around to the New Kingdom. This is where the organization ends. Many of the displays have no explanation or simply aren't labeled at all. To add discomfort to confusion, the Museum has no air conditioning and relies on open windows for ventilation. Sweat ran down our backs every time we stopped to look at an item. It really made us appreciate the organization of the British Museum.
Hany pointed out a few items of particular interest. Many of them we'd see reproduced in the souvenir shops we'd visit. There was a wood carving in particularly good shape of a scrip that we'd see over and over again.
After showing us the highlights from the first floor, we were off to explore the second floor, which is entirely devoted to Tutankhamen. All the artifacts from his tomb that Howard Carter found are here. The highlight was a small, air conditioned room housing the greatest treasures from the tomb including the burial mask and the golden sarcophagi. The rest of the upper floor was filled with various beds and chairs along with other artifacts.
After finishing the second floor, we had a little free time to wander around the museum. Hers and I went into the mummy room where the bodies of 12 Egyptian Pharaohs were on display. The room was hot and crowded. Hers and I made it around the outside first and then made our way to the two bodies in the center. One of the mummies was that of Ramses II. As Egyptian Pharaohs go, he's kind of a big deal. He ruled for over 60 years and fathered over 100 children. He also did a lot of building in his time and is one of the greatest Pharaohs in Egyptian history. His gray hair indicates just how old he was.
After the mummy room, we walked around the lower floor for a bit. The mummy of Queen Hatshepsut was supposed to be on display at the museum, but our guide wasn't much help (he insisted that it wasn't on display at all). Hatshepsut was the only woman to rule as Pharaoh so the recent identification of her mummy was a huge deal. No one was really sure how she died (many thought her jealous step-son who wanted to be Pharaoh might have killed her off). It appears she died of old age. Unfortunately, we never found her mummy.

Our fun new game....
When are our apartment starts shaking we now have to ask ourselves is it an earth tremor or is it the bus. Formerly it was the bus pulling up outside our apartment that would make the floor and walls shake but recently Nairobi has been experiencing "earth tremors" from an earthquake in Tanzania. This isn't all that new of a phenomenon for His, but it is for me.
We only have a few more days left. Finals are Monday, then Wed we leave for the Masaii Mara to watch the great migration. Then we will hit the Ocean for a few days before returning to the states.
UPDATE: Despite the coverage on CNN and other media outlets, the embassy has not ordered an evacuation. Also, the discussion of panic in Nairobi is unfounded, at least where we live. Life is continuing on as normal (or as close to normal as living in Nairobi can be) with the exception of some mild vibrations every now and then. We will keep you updated if anything changes.

Egypt Day 2
We had an early wake up call on Tuesday morning so we could have some breakfast and get out to the Pyramids before it got too hot out. The pyramids are not far out of town at all, about a five or ten minute drive from our hotel. From the right angle, you can see all of Cairo spreading out behind them.
Our guidebooks indicated that at first sight the pyramids could be a bit disappointing. As you approach them, their size becomes a bit deceptive. It's almost as if your mind doesn't want to believe how large they are. We noticed this as our bus pulled up to Cheops' Pyramid. Cheops' Pyramid is the largest of the three (aka the Great Pyramid). It looked large, but not impressively so. And then we noticed bright colored specks scampering up the side of the Great Pyramid. The individual blocks were larger than the people climbing up the sides.
We had wanted to go inside Cheops' Pyramid, but there was apparently some miscommunication between our travel agent and our guide. Visitors inside Cheops' Pyramid are limited to 150 in the morning and 150 in the afternoon and unfortunately the morning tickets were sold out by the time we got there.
Cheops' Pyramid is the oldest of the three pyramids at Giza. It was built sometime around 2500 BC making it more than 4500 years old. It's 482-feet tall.
After Cheops' Pyramid, we got back onto the bus and headed to Chephren's Pyramid. Chephren was Cheops' son and his pyramid isn't quite as tall coming in at around 470-feet. However, Chephren's Pyramid is on a small hill making it look larger than Cheops'. Chephren's Pyramid also has a bit of the smooth sandstone finish remaining at its peak. Back in the day, all three pyramids had this smooth lime stone finish hiding the larger inner blocks that we see today. Hany, our guide, pointed out that at one time a silver and gold cap stone adorned the top of all three pyramids.
An unlimited number of visitors are allowed inside Chephren's Pyramid, so we all headed inside. We had to stoop over inside the narrow hallway to make it through. As we were moving into the King's burial chamber, others were making their way out making it an even tighter fit. We started off heading downhill. Despite her claustrophobia, Hers managed to make it through the hot and humid passageway. We were able to stand up once we reached the bottom. But the extra headroom was short lived as we had to duck down again as we made our way up. Eventually, we reached the King's Burial Chamber. There wasn't much left inside the pyramid itself. There were no inscriptions and the only artifact inside the burial chamber was a sarcophagus at the far end. Word is that it was found open when Belzoni discovered the chamber in 1818. Speaking of Belzoni, the guy painted his name on the side of the burial chamber along with the date. Interesting to see how far archeology has progressed in the last couple of hundred years. It's interesting that a painted sign almost a couple hundred years old would've been a big deal in the states, but it's kind of silly inside a 4500 year old pyramid.
Hers managed to reach the burial chamber and make it out relatively intact, although I don't think anyone was happier to be back in the increasingly hotter Egyptian sun. After finishing with Chephren's Pyramid, we set of to a plateau overlooking all three pyramids (the third and smallest being Mykerinus' Pyramid, which we didn't actually get a chance to visit). From the plateau, we took a camel ride back to the Pyramids. Unfortunately, camel rides in this area can be dodgey. A common scam is to offer you a cheap camel ride, take you away from the pyramids into the middle of nowhere, and then jack up the price. In our case, they just stopped Hers and I between the plateau and the pyramids and refused to get a move on until we gave them a tip.
After finishing with the camel ride, it was back into the bus and on to the Sphinx. From a distance, the Sphinx looked smaller than I had thought, but I thought the same of the Pyramids originally too. There's a small temple to one side of the Sphinx where mummification rituals were performed. After making our way through the temple, we came out on the right hand side of the Sphinx. It really was smaller than I thought.
The area of the Sphinx was a limestone query where some of the stone for the Pyramids came from. There was a small outcrop of weak limestone in the middle of the Query and Chephren decided he'd build a statue with the body of a lion and the head of a man (some claim it was Chephren's head while others claim it was the head of a God). The Sphinx was actually buried under sand for a time (which sounded impressive until I realized the Sphinx wasn't really that big). A later would-be Pharaoh had a dream that if he cleared the sand away from the Sphinx he would become Pharaoh. As it turns out, the dream was correct and a small granite tablet between the paws of the Sphinx commemorates the event. Common knowledge has it that Napoleon's army shot off the nose of the Sphinx. In fact, our guide book claims that the nose fell off much earlier when the Turks used the Sphinx for target practice. Apparently there are pictures predating Napoleon's visit to Egypt showing the Sphinx without a nose. Unfortunately, there was restoration going on, so we couldn't walk around the Sphinx at all.
We had lunch overlooking the Pyramids and the Sphinx. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped off at a perfume shop. Egyptian perfume is completely pure, no alcohol or oils and so it'll last forever. The stop, like so many others, was a complete kick-back to the guide (who receives a percentage of sales), but it was still interesting to learn a little about the perfume business and, if nothing else, get a break from the heat.
After the perfume shop, we headed back to the hotel where we were able to swim and relax for the rest of the day. We had an ungodly early wakeup call the next day for our flight to Aswan.

Egypt Pics Are Up
We've finally managed to get all our Egypt pictures uploaded thanks to the local Internet cafe. You can find all the pictures here and we'll hopefully be able to get a few more posts about our time in Egypt up in the near future.

A salam alaikum
In honor of it being Friday (which is the Muslim Holy Day) we're posting a picture of us in front of the Muhammad Ali Mosque.
Egypt Pics Day 2 & 3
We've posted more pictures here.
Day 2 is the Pyramids and Sphinx, Day 3 is Aswan which included the High Dam, Philae Temple, Cruise Ship, Botanical Gardens, Nubian Village and LOTS of Nile shots.

Egypt Day 1
We left Kenya early Monday morning. The flight to Egypt was about a five hour flight and we arrived in Cairo in the late afternoon. Hers and I breezed through the terminal before anyone was in place to do a preliminary check of our papers. A short distance later, we met our contact, Mohammad, in the hall. We paid him for our entry Visas (which look like postage stamps and are the coolest visas in my Passport to date). After that, we breezed through immigration to make our Visas official and met our guide, Hany, in the van. It sounds silly, but one of the first things I noticed was that the steering wheel in our van was on the American side of the vehicle. After a month or so, it was nice to ride on the right side of the road.
Hany briefed us on the itinerary for the day, which consisted of checking into our hotel and then catching a Nile dinner cruise (complete with belly dancer). In the morning, we would be off to the Pyramids and the Sphinx.
Cairo is a fairly metropolitan city and rather well developed. After almost a month in Kenya, we especially appreciated the smooth, well maintained roads. The airport is out in New Cairo, which looked very western (if you ignored all the Arabic) with bland office parks and hotels. The city began to age as we made our way across it. Cars shared the roads with donkey carts. Eventually, we came to the City of the Dead. In Islam, people are buried in crypts that contain a grieving room for visiting family members. Many of the city's homeless moved into some of these empty visiting rooms. As Hany pointed out, your neighbors there are generally quiet. The cemetery itself was huge.
Next, we came to the Citadel, built in the 12th century (a little newer than the Tower of London). Atop the Citadel is an alabaster mosque that we'd come back to visit on Sunday.
The Nile passed into view without comment from our guide. Hers asked if the body of water to our right was the Nile. "Oh, yes, that is the Nile." Hany responded in his Egyptian accent as if it were no big deal. We crossed the Nile and suddenly, ahead of us, we saw the outline of the Great Pyramid! That's when it really hit me that we were in Egypt (as if the Arabic wasn't a dead giveaway).
As we approached Giza (one of Cairo's many neighborhoods and the location of the Pyramids), we noticed more and more unfinished apartments. They made this portion of Cairo look poorer than others we had driven through. Hany pointed out that apartments were often left unfinished for two reasons. First, unfinished, unpainted apartments met less in taxes. Secondly, the custom was for a son to move into the same building with his parents after he married. Leaving part of the apartment building unfinished allowed the son and his bride to built their own apartment when the time was right.
We stayed at the Grand Pyramid Hotel. From every balcony you could see the outline of the Great Pyramid through the unfinished apartment buildings in the background. We didn't have time to shower, so we simply dropped off our bags and met everyone in the lobby.
The highlight of the dinner cruise was the Nile itself. The food wasn't that great and the belly dancing got old fast. Unfortunately, I got roped into dancing with the belly dancer, but I like to think I showed her a thing or two. Afterwards, Hers and I went out onto the top deck with a few of our friends and enjoyed night time on the Nile.

A Few More Egypt Pictures
Just posting a couple of quick pictures of the Sphinx:
Awww, aren't we cute:
I have no real explanation for this picture except that, well, we were probably suffering from heat stroke and we wanted to kiss the Sphinx. This is Jessica, by the way, and she is studying in Nairobi with us.

Egypt, The Cliff's Notes Version
We're going to try and post pictures this weekend but wanted to post some of our favorite stories for you.
- Not only did we see the pyramids but we got to go inside to the King's chamber. For those of you who don't know I am ridiculously claustrophobic. I had to psyche myself with a little Rocky movie and run/crawl through the pyramids looking only down. The only thing that got me through was my group's constant signing of the Indiana Jones theme music. There is just something uneasy about being in a 1x 1.5 meter tunnel under 40 million tons of rock.
- Standing in the Nile on the 4th of July (also dancing the cotton eye joe on our cruise ship that night)
- Spending the afternoon drinking mint tea in a Nubian village on the banks of the Nile.
- Swimming in the pool on our cruise ship watching the banks of the Nile and seeing random ruins.
- The Valley of the Kings. Despite being 120 + degrees those tombs were really impressive
- Taking a horse drawn carriage through the market in Luxor. The spices and fabrics were amazing and sugar cane juice was delicious.
- Eating at McDonalds (don't judge, it was great having ice in our coke) over looking Luxor temple.
- Watching the sun rise and set over the Nile everyday.
- Hearing the calls to prayer everyday and getting to go into an amazingly beautiful Mosque.

We're Back!!!!
We are back in Nairobi after the worst flight in the history of flights and a brief stop over in the Sudan. Egypt was the most amazing place I have ever been and I don't care what an "online poll" says, the pyramids are the most amazing wonder of the world. Just look:
The Pyramids:
And His and Her on camels in front of the pyramids; that is a "wonder."

Egypt Day 1 Pictures
So it's just another Saturday at an Internet cafe on the banks of the Nile in Luxor. We took advantage of the fast Internet connection to post pictures from Day 1 in Cairo. Nothing too exciting yet, but there's more to come.
So, I just wanted to say...
That we are in freaking EGYPT and having a blast.
We've seen the pyramids, a ridiculous amount of temples, cruised the nile, and are currently sitting in an internet cafe on the banks of the Nile. I'll post more if I have time but for now I'm off to read the news.
