Janell and I will board our flight next Friday as we head to Egypt. I secured our visas in Chicago this week and all is set on being able to enter the country for 14 days.
As I continue to await the trip, I find myself thinking about Egypt in various ways. For example, I swatted a fly this morning and remembered how the ancient Egyptians used giraffe tails to swat flies along the Nile. With giraffes being my favorite animal, it is one of the few things I have to be angry at the dear ancient Egyptians of the past. Also, I am about to mow my grass and checked the 10 day forecast for Indianapolis. I was angry to not see much rain in the predictions as I think back to our dry summer last year. Well, I realized I cannot complain too much in comparison to the country I am visiting next week. Most of Egypt only receives on average about 1-2 inches of rain PER YEAR. Why is that students? Climate is a crazy thing.
