Coptic Museum
The ALI Tour today was to Old Cairo. I had been to the churches before, but we went inside the Coptic Museum as well, which I hadn't seen. It was really cool. Sadly, no photos allowed. But I saw a lot of gorgeous woodwork, stone carvings, icons, and textiles. And...OSTRACA! (Shards of limestone with writing.) And really old books that were absolutely breathtaking. Happy girl!

It sounds like your time in Egypt has lived up to (exceeded?) your expectations. How lovely!
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, you have finals coming up.
Good luck!

I do have finals coming up. (Don't remind me!) I'm not feeling very stressed about them right now, but will probably be terrified Tuesday morning. I still need to work out with MSU how the courses are transferring, so I don't even know whether or not these will be entered in as grades...
