Cairo, Egypt - Part One
Back in January I had almost a month off from school during which I spent a week roaming the streets and markets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids, and eating lots of street food (including Kushari).
Pyramid and Saqqara related posts coming soon.
Visited Prague, or Praha as the locals call it, in November of 2010. Prague, located in the Czech Republic is one of the most beautiful cities of Eastern Europe. A walk through the winding cobblestone streets and cavernous underground bars leaves one with the feeling that they’ve fallen back in history to the height of medieval Europe.
Days were spent walking the city streets, exploring museums and churches, and random snowball fights when conditions allowed (see the next post about snow covered Prague). Nights were spent much like the days, except the focus was the exploration of restaurants and bars. The combination of not yet being on the Euro and having some of the best breweries in the world makes Prague a beer lovers city (keep an eye out for a Prague beer focused post).

Casablanca, Morocco: Part Three
Visit to the Hassan II Mosque. The beauty and detail of the architecture wins hands down in a contest with all the cathedrals I’ve visited to date. The pictures just don’t do it justice.
Interesting facts:
- Fifth largest mosque in the world (largest in Morocco)
- World’s tallest minaret at 689’
- Has a sliding roof that opens to expose the main worship hall
- Room for 105,000 worshippers
Boarding in France
Boarding in La Joue du Loup, France for the next week. More Casablanca photos to follow when I return.
