an impromptu visit to alex(andria)

me and the citidel

we drove through the night to alex and got there in the early morning.  the driving in egypt is craaaaazy.  more on that later.  let's just also say that bashir likes to sleep and drive so i was on constant vigil for a while.  had so much fun exploring the citidel and took a bilion pics.   also got a boat ride in the mediterranean sea which was lovely. also had fakhfakina which is glorified and delicious fruit salad, sobia, which is coconut and milk drink--YUM. and a tamarind drink--woah.  bashir's cousin made us mulukhiyah a soup i wanted to try.  it's made out of jute leaves, lemon and garlic and you eat it with rice and arabic bread.  YUM.  i'm so tired and hot and i need to sleep.  later!
