Safe in Alexandria (by Krystal)

Taking some time to use the Internet access and Jess'ipod in our hotel to let everyone know we got here safely since Jess is too fascinated by the constant stream of traffic, chorus of horns and sea of people outside our window. After three flights, long layovers of sitting in the airport(no munich for us)we arrived yesterday to a beautiful hotel but more importantly a bed!
Today started out with a trip to the library which was also had museums in it. We looked at some books, saw part of the book of the dead in the manuscript library and got a whirlwind guided tour of the different artifacts found in the city (my Greek lit prof would be proud as I recognized the Greek gods!)
After the library walked along the seaway and around the town. Everywhere we went we have stood out ... (Just a bit)but it has earned us a fair amount of welcomes and hellos. Armed with our tourist guide free from the library we will hit a few more key spots in the city tomorrow. Still it really is the little things that make an adventure. To prove my point some highlights of the past few days for the three of us have been a cab ride,the hotel bed,a German swim team,the book of the dead parchment,the antiquities museum and a hail of welcome to Alexandria out of a cab window (I will let you figure out whose was which)
This experience has been an adventure so far but God has been watching our steps every moment. so far.
