The Past Two Weeks

Dear Blogosphere,

I have disappeared off the web for the past two weeks, but with good reason! Due to forces beyond our control, AUC canceled classes for two and a half weeks. And, rather than sit at home and mourn the missed educational opportunity, some friends and I decided to seek education in a more experience-based manner.

By which I mean: TRAVELING ADVENTURE! YEAH YEAH!

We spent our first week in Jordan: visiting Aqaba, on the coast; Amman, the capital; Petra, the beautiful rose-colored city; and the Dead Sea, among other things. Then we returned to Cairo for two days before heading out yet again, to Sharm el-Sheik, in the south of the Sinai. It's a lot to document so I'm doing it in increments, with pictures to go along. It's more manageable for reading and a lot less intimidating for writing.

So then: here we go!
