Day 3 - Alexandria

March 9, 2009

Pigeon houses on the way to Alexandria

Now we're in Alexandria

Mosque in Alexandria - the city is prettier than Cairo

Selling fruit

At Pompey's Pillar in the middle of Alexandria

Kind of a neat spot

Gotta have the sphinxes

Erin and Matt with the pillar and sphinx

Alexandria

Now we're in the library of Alexandria

Getting a guided tour...

This library is really new

The outside of the library

Alexandria near the water looks more like Europe than Egypt

Mediterranean Sea

We ate at a restaurant with views of the coastline

My meal was looking at me

But it was still tasty!

Praying during the call to prayer

Sunset in Alexandria

Walking around downtown at night

This is apparently the thing to do; there were tons of locals out!

Pretty much the only store in all of Egypt that sells alcohol

After stocking up on Stella, it's time for ice cream!

Yum

Lobby of our hotel. Much nicer than I expected!

Mecca is that way. (Gotta know which way to pray)
