Crazy

Well, if you have watched the news today, you have seen the crazy situation in Egypt. Janell and I are very fortunate to have had the trip canceled before we boarded the flight for Cairo. Between the mass demonstrations in the streets and the awful murder of a 21 year old American teacher in Alexandria, it is an awful ordeal in the country of Egypt at the moment. I hope things work out for the nation as they settle disagreement on the government and their current leader President Morsi.

We are working out things with Hilton and IIE regarding finances and the hopeful possibility of a future trip. Though they have mentioned a possible trip to another place, I feel as if Egypt is the place I was voted to see. Therefore, maybe an altered trip later this summer is possible (doubtful at the moment) or a trip next summer could happen. I await the decisions of Hilton but hope to hear good news next week.

I thank you again for the support in this crazy experience. I hope to be able to visit Egypt in the future- it is even more of a goal of mine now with what has happened this past week.
