The Cairo Museum

This morning, Josh, Lara and I headed out to the infamous Cairo Museum. They have just about every Egyptian artifact except the Rosetta Stone, which is housed in London (because the British found the damned thing, or perhaps the correct word is plundered?). As always, I took some pictures which I will get posted soon I promise!

We took the Metro, which is always an adventure. Heading into Cairo at the time of morning we went wasn’t too bad, but coming back at 1 PM was pretty horrible. I’ve never seen so many people cram into a single subway car before! It was strange, because usually it’s a safe place once you get over being pressed up against 5 other people, most haven’t showered in several days.

Some guy tried to rip off Josh’s wallet, right out of his back pocket. He felt it starting to leave his pocket and reach back to grab it. The guy could have made off with quite a lot of money! Josh probably would’ve hit him if he could’ve turned around, but the car was absolutely packed full.

Now it’s time for a short nap before New Year’s Eve celebration!
