Step Pyramids & Pre-Syria





We went to the step pyramids this morning which was a fun little trip. It only ended up being nine of us plus Cynthia which was a nice little break from the usual. The coolest pyramid was the one we got to go in. Yes, we went in a pyramid. Shock and awe. It actually smelled really bad down there and going down the steps was treacherous, but we were inside a pyramid. One last time. In a pyramid.

The rest of the day was mostly just lounging around, packing up, and maybe doing a paper or two. We said goodbye to our friendly staff here at the hotel. Miggy and I gave Hyshem a Boston hat and Northeastern t-shirt and he got us these cute, little valentines day-esque mugs with "love" balloons. He's pretty much the coolest one here. Habibi!

So, we're flying to Syria tomorrow morning and our visas are almost definitely going to work. The internet however is done for until Jordan, but we get to see Deryn and Abdo in a week! Updates eventually, ma'sallama!
