Friday exhaustion - Egypt day Six

We woke up from a horrible night sleep in a sleeper train and were bussed to our hotel in Cairo. We had breakfast and about a third of the group at this time was sick. I was extremely lightheaded and had a terrible sore throat. I was dehydrated because when ever we wanted to drink water we had to purchase bottled water. I had about 3-2 liter bottles but I guess that was not enough. Most of the people had stomach problems.
When we got to the hotel we had breakfast and then had a sacrament meeting in one of the hotel meeting rooms. Jenn organized a beautiful arrangement of a hymn and a choir to sing it. We had to close the curtains of the room and not refer to the meeting as a church meeting due to Egyptian law. The spirit was very strong as we passed the sacrament in the land of our forefathers and also realizing the importance of where we were. It was the end of a very eventful week and my testimony has been strengthened by the things I saw. I will never forget the sacrament meeting I had in Egypt.
After sacrament meeting we went to the Citadel, it was a beautiful mosque that was in Cairo. We were all so very tired. We took off our shoe (I had bear feet) and walked around in this beautiful building overlooking Cairo.
Then we went to the Cairo museum. This museum has many of the treasures found in King Tuts tomb. It also had mummies some of the famous ones like King Ramses. There was also a room dedicated to the mummification of animals. Way cool! The only problem was that all of us were extremely exhausted. We were almost like the mummies walking around the museum, taking any moment we could to sit down and rest for a while.
Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Cairo for lunch. We all perked up when our hamburgers and French fries came to our table! However we had to eat them plain with just dressing no veggies or cheese because of the way their fruit is handled could get us sick- we could only eat things that were cooked. Well, after devouring the hamburger they played American music and we all danced the YMCA.
After the delicious lunch we went to a bazaar where we got to go barter a little. I was on a quest to find a University or College t-shirt. I asked around but my quest was in vain, unfortunately I left that bazaar empty handed- but don't worry I did by lots of stuff in Luxor for memories.
After the bazaar we went back to the hotel and received our new room assignments. We also received our cartuches, and then went to dinner. The hotel made us a large cake with fruit on it (meaning we couldn't eat that part). And we had an impromptu dance party in the reception and we danced the night away!!! There was a singer in the reception area that was singing in Arabic and we even got some of our teachers and some other tourists to dance with us. It was a lot of fun! We went to bed kind of early because we were so tired and also we would have to wake up at 3:30am the next morning to begin our journey back to Israel.
