Still in Cairo
I had a great time riding a camel at the pyramids. The desert is beautiful and the camel ride was very scary. Finally getting to see the pyramids in person was such an uplifting experience. I will never ever forget it. It is very hot here, but I am enjoying myself very much. I am home sick and I can't wait to go home to see my family and friends. I purchased so many things that I needed to buy an extra suit case. I miss all of my students very much and I can't wait to see them all.
Our pet rabbit Alli has really warmed up to us and even greets us at the door when we go home. He lets me kiss him on the head and even follows me every where. He is sooo cute. He loves tomatoes, and hazel nuts. He hops around the whole apartment. He is very happy and Diana intends on bringing him to New York. If she can't keep him I hope that someone reading this will be interested in adopting our little Egyptian bunny rabbit.
Every time I have dinner here at a restaurant out doors I have to order two meals, one for me and one for the many cats that I feed. They all flock once they see that I am feeding one cat five to 8 cats come running and all wait for me to throw chicken to them. They are all hungry and skinny it breaks my heart and I have to constantly hold my tears back. There are so many homeless cats.
Every one here in Cairo smokes. It is unbelievable! Even during one of my dance work shops some girls took a break to smoke right in the class room. No problem. if you can't handle smoke don't come to Egypt! The cab drivers smoke, almost all of the dance teachers need to take a bunch of smoking breaks during the class and will smoke there cigarettes right in the class room. Most of the cab drives smoke and in all of the restaurants there is smoke. There is smoke everywhere, you can even smoke on the bus in the bathroom especially in any store that you go into . I am amazed.
I saw the whirling dervish show yesterday, it was great. There were many musicians and they were all brilliant. There were four men dancing with these beautiful colorful skirts. They spinned for so long I don't know how they did not get dizzy. It was an incredible show.
I have been to the bazaar four times already and the amount of belly dance costumes is so overwhelming. I got some really nice costumes and great souvenirs. I love the camels and could not resist buying a cute stuffed camel for my living room. When I was sitting at the vendors I decided I wanted to get camels as a gift for my students. And when I asked the boy for 20 camels he almost fell over. What?! He said 20 camels? I said yes 20 camels. They did not know what to do, they went crazy they did not have enough camels and they had to send to boys out to find more camels. When he returned all sweaty and tired. I said o.k. 5 more camels. What?! He said 5 more camels? So he had to rund out and find 5 more camels. Then when he returned I said o.k. 5 more camels NO I am just kidding then they all started laughing. I had no idea that these little stuffed camels would be so heavy. I had to cary them with me all day. I hope my students appreciate my gift of camels I will be bringing to New York. They were a lot of work to get.
