What have we been doing?!?!

I must begin by saying that Pat and I could have never dreamed of our first few days in Cairo to ever be this amazing. We are currently couchsurfing in an apartment right outside of Cairo, we have the apartment all to ourselves, it has airconditioning and internet. A few German couchsurfers will be joining us tomorrow night. Our host, Ahmed has an internship during the day but at night he has given us the tour of a life time. Our first night we went on a double date with Ahmed and his girlfriend Amani, we took a night cruise on the Nile. It was a smooth and relaxing sail on the Nile, however, we could still hear the sounds of car horns from the night traffic. -The next day Ahmed's friend Mo offered to take us to the Egyptian Museum. This is the largest Egyptian Museum in the world, we spent hours in the massive building viewing ancient artifacts-some of th artifacts were not even in a case. It was truly unbelievable. We paid a little extra to see the Royal Mummies, this was a small room where exposed mummies laid in glass cases. Egyptians who lived over 4000 years ago right before our eyes- Pat said we were living in a National Geographic magazine and it is true and it is just the begining!
We arrived to Cairo during the middle of Ramadan and it has been interesting to see the nightlife from 6pm to 4am this is when Muslims break their fast and the streets are filled with people walking and taxi's and cars storming the roads.
Tomorrow brings us another adventure with perspective volunteering with the Cairo Rotary Club and as we itch to see the pyramids we eagerly wait for our German couchsurfers so we can make one big trip!
