I am now sitting in the Egypt airport waiting for our flight to Tel Aviv. You wouldn't believe how strict they were at the airport. They went through every piece of luggage. We basically had to repack everything. I think Israel is very picky about anyone coming into the region. We are excited to be in Jerusalem and to see Kara and the BYU Jerusalem center. We are incredibly tired and are excited that there won't be any tours tomorrow. Today was spent visiting the Cairo Museum. The best part of this museum was seeing the king Tut exhibit. You couldn't take any pictures in the museum, so I don't have any to show. Everything with the tut exhibit was pretty much solid gold or gold leafed. It is a priceless exhibit. What an honor it was to see it.
We were also able to go to the Mohammed Alli Mosque. This is a famous Muslin Mosque in Cairo. It was interesting to learn more of the Muslin faith and culture. The above picture is Reed and I in front of the Mosque.
