On Shanna's last day we took the train up to Alexandria on the Mediterranean. It was freezing!
Here I am right on the water. When the waves came they would splash up really high, it was cool.
This is where they parked their boats and there were hundreds of them.
These boats were parked up on the sidewalk. I'm not sure why but they were all painted fun colors.
We also went to this really big mosque. We didn't go inside but the outside was beautiful.
There were oranges hanging everywhere but what I didn't understand was who buys that many oranges at one time?
I'm not sure what these jars were for but they were everywhere on the sides of the road. In the Sandbox they do water like this, just in a huge clay pot on the side of the road and there's usually a little cup attached to a string and anyone who wants water just comes and dips that cup in. It's really quite gross but that's how it works. Maybe these are the same kind of thing or maybe they're for sale.
We also walked through a small souq filled with fruits and vegetables and rabbits. I think they eat them, I don't know.
We walked past this box full of this odd shaped bread and decided to try it. It was not good.
At the end of a long day of wandering around we got back on the train and headed back to Cairo. Then Shanna had about 3 hours to sleep before she headed to the airport for the exciting adventure of catching her plane...you should ask her about it!
