Day 55

March 14

Last night we got to eat dinner at the house of a Navy Commander in Egypt. My roommate's mom met a friend at the commissary in D.C. who knew about this family who was living in Egypt. So John got in contact with them and they invited us over for dinner last night. It was absolutely incredible. Not only was the couple incredibly generous, funny, and kind, but also their house was like Little America in Egypt. It was absolutely incredible.

First of all, they had the Armed Forces Network. This means they got ESPN. They also had American food and drink. It was basically like heaven. I got to drink Coors Light and St. Pauli's Girl, eat Lasagna and watch basketball. I was so happy.

What's more, they had a Wii. After dinner we ended up playing Wii Sports and other games. It was so much fun. The couple was so nice they even let me spend the night. Eventually they went to bed, but I stayed up playing guitar hero and watching the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Washington Wizards. When I woke up, I got to eat more lasagna and drink Ovaltine. It was incredible. They were the nicest people and it really made me want to work abroad for the US.
