For those of you who have worried and prayed for me. . . thank you. I am fine and all of my friends are fine. I am still here in Dahab. I was scheduled to leave tomorrow. I hope that still goes as planned. The police won't allow anyone to leave tonight anyways.
The atomosphere here is basically surreal. I feel the heaviness in the air. Almost all shops are closed and some restaurants as well (as is fitting). Some restaurants are open, but no music is playing and television sets are turned on to the news. People are on cell phones trying to let their friends and family know that they are ok. However, some restaurants are open, music playing, people eating, drinking wine and smoking cigarettes as if nothing has happened at all. We all heard the bombs. Many of us saw the smoke rising in the air. I'm hearing rumors that 30 were killed and 150 injured. Yet they seem to not realize it at all. Unbelievable.
Anyhow, I am fine. I'll probably post again tomorrow before I leave, and when I get back in Cairo I'll post as soon as I possibly can.

For some reason, I cannot get into my blog to write a new post. But anyways, I wanted to let you all know that my leaving has been delayed a day. I should be back in Cairo tomorrow evening. Love you all! Thanks for your prayers and keep praying for all the people here and the families that are affected by these events.
