Day 22: A Coup

Bad news this weekend for tourists planning to head to Egypt. Egyptian citizens have been protesting for  several days, demanding the ousting of the president. It is unlikely, though not impossible, that this will be resolved before our February departure date. So sad.

Some cool images have come out of the Egyptian Antiquities Museum were looters destroyed several artifacts that are thousands of years old. Civilians linked arms and surrounded the museum, protecting the priceless objects within.
