Day 60

Wednesday March 19th,

Well today we head off to the Jordan. As I do not consider the Sinai Peninsula Asia, as soon as I cross into Israel, I will take my first steps on the Asian continent. I guess that's something to note as being a milestone in life. Does it really change who I am or make me all that better of a person. I don't know. I don't feel all that different, but they say traveling changes you. I guess as in with most things in life, we shall see.

I also got back my paper and test in Art and Architecture and took my speaking colloquial. Everything went pretty well. Although I still feel terrible at my language skills, maybe I am improving ever so slowing. I really would like to be proficient in it. Maybe not fluent, but at least proficient. Can I least get that.

The bus ride in the evening was once again a crazy experience. This time the bus was completely full of Americans, probably 80%. Most of them are going to Israel or the beach for the extended weekend. It was nice travelling with so many people because, well, there is safety in numbers. However, despite the lack of Egyptians the bus driver still played the music way to loud and had the terrible video going. Even though I learned from last time and wore glasses I still wasn't able to sleep much. But you can't really except to walk away from a vacation and actually be rested. What kind of vacation would that be?
