The new teachers took our second field trip today, and this time we hopped in a van and drove to Rosetta. Yes, like Rosetta stone. This is the city where the Rosetta Stone was discovered. We were unable to see the actual stone since it's located in the British museum, but we saw a replica of the stone and then saw the actual place where the stone was found. After looking at a few museums, we took a little boat ride down part of the Nile. This man was our navigator. It felt so nice to be on the water! Coming from Alaska, I am not used to this heat!! It has been in the high 80s every day, with about 65% humidity. I know that isn't too hot compared to many places in the US, but it feels that much hotter walking around in long pants. I've found that I am acclimating just fine though. But I'm secretly so excited for "winter" when all the tourists return to upper Egypt and the temperature drops another 20 degrees!
