Seeing the World (3rd entry)

Wow after our long flight and being shuttled to our hotel, we all decided to take a half hour nap okay so it turned into an hour. Then we decided we were going to hit the hotel pool. Wow you wouldn't believe the weather. I thought we were sweating at home, this is an insta diet. Although I have to say the humidity is not that bad but wow oh wow the temps in the hundreds.

Okay well this pool is awesome. Not too many other people were in it when we arrived to hop in. About a handful or so. We did find two other families of touristy people from the states which was cool we will be joining them in the hotel dining room this evening. They have also told us of some cool tours that will be happening all week, and just where we need to go to sign up. So we are going to do that and join them so that we have others to enjoy our Egyptian visit with. They also have kids yahoo!!!

The pool was like bath water, absolutely wonderful. I think we all could of just stayed in it all night. It was just so relaxing after a long plane ride, and then a shuttle ride.

After our swim it was back to the room for showers and changing into clothes for dinner. Shorts and t-shirts, flip flops you know totally relaxing and casual nothing fancy here lol.

We met for 6:15 with the two other families in the dining room. At dinner my group we decided to try something out of the norm for us. I tried the signature dish of Egypt, yes they have one and it is Bamia=sweet and sour Okra. How neat and what a great flavor to it.

The kids tried some different kinds of pasta and chicken dishes but ofcourse lol but it was different from fried chicken or baked chicken breast at home.

As we were dining they had some great music playing and then we all heard it yes we heard the Egypt Anthem (which you can listen to in my sidebar) it was very neat to say the least.

Well we all went to a local park to view some flower gardens and waterfalls, and then back to the hotel to say goodnight and in the morning we will all meet up for a shuttle to a place that has camels guess we are going to hop on a camel and off to the pyramids hmmm can't wait.
