I can't decide which is better!

Today, I picked up a car. For free. Tomorrow, I'm leaving to travel in Egypt for four days. So all in all, its pretty sweet.

So about that car - I have a friend who went back to the States for an extended period of time, and wanted someone to be able to use her car. I was lucky enough to be that someone. I went today to pick it up - and its nice. A 2001 Honda Civic. Much nicer than I was anticipating. And to be honest, I'm a little nervous to drive it. Bahrain doesn't exactly have the Minnesota Nice driving I'd become so endeared to. Rather, there are no rules, and if I need to turn left from the farthest right lane (and crossing four lanes), I will do so. So I find myself being extra careful. Which is a good thing, I guess.

And Egypt? I was able to get cheap tickets to Egypt. Lucky for me, we have the Ashoora break next week along with the weekend. So I'm taking the opportunity to visit Luxor. And its got a lot of sweet stuff. Valley of the Kings, some ruins, some Hieroglyphics, but no pyramids. Those are up near Cairo.

When I return, school starts for real. The last few weeks had been a cake walk as I just gave tests. But now I have to start lesson planning and doing some prep work again. So my two months of bliss is in its twilight. But thats ok. I'm going to Eygpt. And I have a car.
