Take a listen to my daily alarm clock
Well, I have almost been in Cairo for a week now and am starting to feel settled in.  I arrived on Sunday night, but unfortunately my luggage didn’t make it with me due to a delay I had.  It came a couple of days later and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Catching Up To Do&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well friends, it is time for a new adventure to begin.  It has been a long, but really good year since I&#8217;ve been in Egypt.  And, it&#8217;s obvious that I have neglected this site since then!  But hopefully with more international adventures that will change.
After graduating from Wheaton College this May with my degree in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ma’ is-salaama Masr (Goodbye Egypt)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I am finally home after almost 4 months in the Middle East. Sorry about the last months lack of updates. Once I got behind in Israel, it was too overwhelming to catch you all up on everything that had gone on. Here I will write some highlights.
The time spent in Israel was intense. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Syria, Jordan, and now Israel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry that it is difficult at times to keep a regular update, especially when we are constantly on the move. I will just start where I left off and try to catch you up with some of what I’ve been up too. 
Loved the rest of the time in Istanbul! Our free day most everyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stage one of MESP is over. I am no longer in Egypt. The last few days in Cairo were well spent. Went and saw a few amazingly ornate mosques, dominated my Arabic final, and went to the opera. The opera was a good multicultural experience. A few of us went, all dressed up-mingling with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last week of classes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luxor-the ancient city of Thebes. Home of the ancient pharaohs, think Exodus. It was a 12 hour ride by train at night. Relatively uneventful except for my window getting shattered by a thrown rock at 2:00AM, a great welcome to Upper Egypt. We went straight to the Temple at Karnak. You may have seen this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homestay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The week with an Egyptian family is over, and it was a great week in general because of the change of pace. It can be easy sometimes in an apt with a bunch of cool guys to not get out much, especially when we have a lot of homework. But, just living out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Siwa Oasis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Sorry that it’s been a while. Life goes on in Egypt as usual; we didn’t have much of a weekend last weekend because we had to make up classes. Since Ramadan ended the beginning of October, they have a big feast holiday, so we have a week of no Arabic after a weekend of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mt. Sinai &amp; Dahab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The trip last weekend was awesome.  We ended up arriving at Mount Sinai at class to 3AM, which was much later than we planned to because we got a flat tire on the way.  This meant we had to try to hurry up the mountain.  I give props to Moses for scaling this beast without the path that is [...]]]></description>
