We have lost Ben, Bonnie, James, and Rosey. They are headed home and are likely somewhere over the Atlantic as I type. We miss them already and wish them luck!
Currently we are hard at work in the basement of USAID. Sunday is the first day of the work week and we have a deliverable of the final report to finish. We are currently alone in the building with the exception of the guards. Today is a holiday for the Egyptians. It is the day when most of them will sacrifice an animal in deference to Abraham sacrificing a ram after proving he was willing to sacrifice his son. (Or so I'm told.) This explanation came from our tour guide and I know she over generalized a few things.
We are in good spirits and feel we have done a good job. Our lunch was pizza from Pizza Hut. (We were not feeling adventurous.) We hope to hire a sail boat this evening and get out on the Nile for an hour or so. It seems like a great time to take some pictures but the Nile is not the cleanest of rivers. I hope it goes well.
