another day, another school trip

Greetings everyone!

I have recently returned from a trip to Cairo for a speech and debate tournament. My debate team did pretty well in the end.
The trip was fun for several reasons. There were three coaches and we stayed in a hotel instead of host housing. It was nice because we were together and one of the coaches and I get along so well- good times and Bombay Sapphire... i got to see two former colleagues who are now working in Cairo. It was nice to catch up!

The last day, we went to the pyramids as there was time to kill before the plane left. Sigh. It was a pretty crazy experience but I got to ride a camel and see the pyramids a second time. The men who were taking us on camels and horses were being horrid and whipping the horses unnecessarily. The horses got worked up and nearly bucked a few students off! Frightening. Luckily, it ended up being okay, though we spent little time at the pyramids.






the camel and me!
