More pictures!!! Today’s trip was to Maqhatam and the Citadel. Maqhatam is where all Cairo’s garbage goes and people live there to try to find stuff that's still worth something and sell it. There’s also this amazing Monastery there – built into the side of a mountain.

So we’re going tonight on the 12:30am bus to Dahab. (Dahab is about 9 hours in a bus from Cairo – on the Sinai Peninsula, near Saudi Arabia)

The trouble is, there isn’t a 12:30am today.

Tonight is the night in Egypt to “spring forward” and that happens at 12am. So 12am becomes 1am and that means there’s no 12:30. *laugh*

It’s very silly to think about and it amuses me a lot! We’re presuming that the bus will leave 31 minutes after 11:59pm. Odd way to think about it.
