Wow another birthday in Egypt! I still can't believe I was in Egypt a year ago. It seems much longer than that. Anyway, I had another great birthday with great friends, and I celebrated my birthday in 3 different locations! The first place was at a restaurant called Crepaway. We stayed there for a couple hours and I was supposed to bring my own cake but my roommate and I had problems keeping the cake together. We made a 2 layer cake but when we were taking it out of the oven, part of the cake broke. We started gluing the cake together with frosting but the frosting kept melting because of the heat and there is no AC in the kitchen. After several failed attempts we decided to abandon the cake in the freezer, which was probably a good idea because it would have been tricky to cross a busy street with a cake and then find a taxi. Hahaha this year I'm trying to stay away from too many stupid adventures. Instead of the cake, the restaurant gave me a brownie and ice cream and then sang to me. 3 songs!!!!!! It was crazy but fun. After that I met some friends at the Cairo Jazz club...and they were playing classic rock songs. It was nice! I'm getting tired of Arabic and hip hop music :) Then...my roommate and I met another friend and we rode a faluka on the Nile River. I finally made it home around 4 am and then called people in America....and then passed out on my bed from exhaustion. It was a great birthday and I had loads of fun!!!
Hope you enjoy the pictures. I'm enjoying my lazy summer. I have been sleeping a lot, going to the gym, and meeting people in cafes....but I need the rest, because fall semester will be MUCH harder than summer semester. Oh dear. But I've been improving a lot so its totally worth it!!!
