A big shout out goes to Meeso and Heema who helped me deal with a someone who wouldn't stop ringing my doorbell the other day. Thanks guys, you rule !!!!!!!!@#!!!!!!!!$!!!!111!!!!!11!!!

The trip to Jordan's being postponed a few days due to logistics. Hopefully not more than 5 days. I can't wait !

Here are a few panoramas of Cairo. My apartment view. A big-ass Nile panorama. Another ridiculously huge Nile panorama. And a night time big-ass Nile panorama. The third panorama was taken on a cheesy cruise boat buffet dinner entertainment thing. I wanted to go to see belly dancing and the belly dancing wasn't very good unfortunately but they had a whirling dervish who was sooooooo cool ! Here is a picture of him whirling, another one, and a close up, a video, and another video. At the end of the show he brought me on stage and twirled me around !!!

Here is a panorama of the Khan el-Khalili bazzar. There was a little too much movement which is why some parts of it look a little distorted. This place was really cool the first time, kinda neat the second time, and pretty annoying the third time. I like it because it's full of bright shiny objects which don't cost very much money but the vendors are really aggressive and what you hope would be a pleasant stroll through the bazzar turns into something which raises your blood pressure and causes you to snap at people you otherwise wouldn't. Here is a picture of the al-Hussein mosque near Khan el-Khalili.

I went horseback riding by the pyramids again and got the obligatory tourist camel picture with David.
