We're leaving for Luxor tonight on an overnight train! I need to update for the few days that I've missed once I get back (So don't worry mom, I'm still alive!)

Class 9-1.
After class we came back and I tried to get some homework done, but ended up taking a power nap. Then I got up and packed for Luxor. A bunch of us went out to dinner at Le Caire 1940 and I got more stuffed grape leaves and strawberry juice. So good. I was really nervous that we were going to have to rush out because we had to leave for the train by 8:15, but we were fine. We came back and grabbed our stuff and it was off to the overnight train to Luxor.
I really can't think of an accurate description for the train. They served us dinner, but I am VERY VERY glad that I ate beforehand. It was just bad. I wish I had taken a picture of it in case I ever take an overnight train again, as a constant reminder to FIND SOME OTHER SOURCE OF FOOD. Anyway, despite the mere dribble of water that came out of the sink, I brushed my teeth and washed my face with defiance. Then the power went out for a minute, and I was convinced that our train was being hijacked... Anyways, overall I think taking the train was a really good experience

2. Group Organization: I'll never forget that first fateful night in Cairo when we probably spent several hours getting everyone to Cafe Noir, ordering our food, eating, and figuring out how to split the bill. Now, we've got it down to a SCIENCE. My eyes were metaphorically welling with tears when we left our hotel for Le Caire 1940 and were back in an hour and a half. So proud. So very very proud.
3. Train fun!:
While this picture WAS taken on the train, I really just added it because I think it's hilarious.
