Andrew and I made it safely home from Egypt. Over the last few days we hung around the resort in Dahab, flew back to Cairo for one last day there, then headed home on Sunday. The Egyptian Museum was a bit weird. One one hand it was just packed with really impressive, ancient artifacts. On the other it didn't really feel like the Egyptians put much effort into it. It wasn't very well organized, the write-ups had typos and there were random objects scattered around the museums (fans unplugged left in the middle of aisle, random dog skeletons in display cases with no explanation). It felt a little like being in someone's basement with their unorganized collection of priceless Egyptian artifacts.
In other news: on Oct. 4 I'll once again be doing the MS Bike tour around New York city and though New Jersey to rais money for Multiple Sclerosis. This year I'll be doing the 66 mile ride, and will be joined by Lissy and two of her sisters for the first 30 miles. Peggy, one of Lissy's sisters, has MS, so this hits close to home.
