Dahab for the weekend!

Hi,

I haven't written in a while because I haven't done anything too exciting, just hanging out in Cairo and going to classes. But this Monday we have off because it's the Prophet's Birthday and one of my classes on Sunday is canceled so I'm going to Dahab in Sinai for the weekend. It's on the Red Sea and is supposed to be really nice, so I'll take lots of pictures. I'm excited to go to the beach, and just get out of Cairo in general.

Alix and I are teaching English to Egyptian college kids once a week. We've only taught one class but it was pretty fun. The kids seem nice. They told us that they learned to read and write English in school, but they didn't get the opportunity to speak much. Most of them had never heard an American accent in real life before.

We made friends with a kid who has a house in Alexandria so hopefully we'll go up there some weekend soon. It's starting to get pretty warm. It's 7 pm and still 80 degrees. It feels great now, but I'm not looking forward to 90 degree weather when I still have to wear long sleeves and pants.

The internet has been really slow lately which is driving me crazy. I bought season 4 of The Office on itunes because I have a lot of free time and it is taking forever to load. Very sad. I know I have a hard life...
