Day 40: October 3

Woke up a bit before noon. Decided that today I was going to rest, recuperate, and do some catch up work.

Started uploading my pictures from the trip online. I also started to do some review of the material discussed during the first two weeks of class. Basically just spent most of today mentally preparing to go back to school.

Evan wanted to show me around garden city now that Ramadan is over. After Ramadan more shops and restraints are open giving it a livelier atmosphere. I like it better now because it seems more vibrant. We stopped by the Metro so Evan could introduce me to some Egyptian friends he had made….

By some apparently he meant the entire metro station. We were literally swarmed by metro workers when we entered the station. It was fun but a bit overwhelming. We eventually left and went to get lunch. For lunch we got some meet sausage, bread, salad, and soup. Afterwards we stopped into a sweet store and bought some small cakes to complete the meal.

Afterwards we came back and hit the books. At around 8 Jesse came over and the three of us went out to grab some dinner. We hit up another shop Evan had found. We got the ‘meat platter’ which consisted of sausage and kibda(Liver). I thought it was pretty good, but then again I’m the only one of the three that really likes kibda. On the way back Evan decided that he was craving Ice Cream. Neither Jesse nor I were against the idea so we chipped in and got a tub of ice cream.

We took the ice cream home and ate it while talking about life. Eventually Evan and Jesse split off and went to spend time together (they are now dating btw). I did some more studying and decided to watch a movie. Watched the original Mad Max. After that I called Sara and went to bed early.
