Hello hello. Welcome back to my blog. I'm taking a break to tell you guys about my trip to Alexandria. After Fai got back from the States, we went to Alexandria with our parents.
Sunday
We drove to Alexandria. Once we got there we drove around and found an apartment to rent for the two nights we stayed there.
We broke fast at a restaurant called Balbaa. I finally ate pigeon. It was stuffed with "freek" aka grits. It was delicious.
Then we went to the Stanley bridge. It's really famous and I couldn't figure out why. As far as bridges go I gave it a Sea plus (C+). Just kidding, it was a nice bridge.
I checked another thing off my to do list which was eat corn from the street. It was... fine. I guess.
Monday
We explored the things. First we went to the Alexandria Library. It was really big. We watched a science movie called "Oasis in Space". It was kinda lame.
Then we went to Qaitbay Castle. It's a Citadel military castle building. It was build on the sea to protect Egypt from intruders.
I've been fasting during Ramadan, but after walking around in the sun a lot, I got very dehydrated. I couldn't walk anymore so I drank.
After, we went to an aquarium. The fish were really pretty.
We broke fast that day with rice and fish. Before Egypt, I didn't like fish. But now, I really like it and the fish from Alexandria was really good.
We also went out for ice cream and bought a kite.
Tuesday
After we woke up, we pack our things to leave. Before heading back to Cairo, we went to Qasr Montaza. Montaza Palace is the king's "summer home". We hung out by the sea and flew the kite we bought the day before.
After we went home.
It was a really quick trip but I'm really glad I finally got to go to Alexandria.
I'm also really glad I get to spend time with my sister, Fairouz (aka Roza aka Fai aka Pepsi aka Fairoyz).
Thanks for reading. I have to get back to packing now.
Learn something today.

Corie.
