Cairo first 5 days


Sorry but quick updates due to the time constraints here on the internet
The following are messages from the other side of the world. 
Arrived in Cairo Friday at 2 in the morning.  The experience of the city was enough to confirm that I was in another country.  Traffic, crazy streets, old buildings.

Quick weekly overview:
Saturday was spent roaming the streets and meeting the people
Sunday we went to Garbage City and the Ministry of Charity orphanage, then walked up the hill to the St Simon’s Monastery  
Monday we went to the Cairo Museum and spent the second half of the day with more roaming of the streets and meeting people.
Today we just came back from the Pyramids at Giza, and hung out with the people at Giza.  Camels are dirty and smelly, but awesome!!!

More details to come with pictures – when we get back to Hawaii
Stay tuned for more updates
