April's Birthday Celebration!

April's Birthday began on the evening of After the Arab League we decided to go out and have some fun. We weren't sure what we were going to do but eventually we ended up with some friends at the Cairo Jazz Club. April, Me, Alyssa, Grace, Asha, and Diana enjoyed the Jazz Club's rock and roll night where we got to hear Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, etc. It was a perfect start to April's birthday and we made sure to celebrate at midnight, knowing full well that the celebration would continue until the time that her birthday ended in the states, because of the time difference.

Friday morning we woke up early to go to Giza to ride horses!!!! I was so pumped, it had been awhile since I've gone horseback riding so I was ready to go! I went with a small group of people so it turned out to be really nice. My horse was BEAUTIFUL! Some people opted for camels and we headed out into the desert. It was so amazing just to ride the horse though the desert, wind in my hair, I know it sounds cheesy but it was perfect.



On the way back to Zamalek we made sure to sing Happy Birthday to April again!! She seemed sooo happy. After getting back Diana and I took a very long, amazing nap. It was sooo refreshing. Then we met up with April and Alyssa for dinner at Cafe Vivant, of course we made April where the tiara around so everyone was calling her princess or Queen Elizabeth!

On our walk back we met up with Ted and Oscar and went over to Goals with them, and Oscar was very gracious and treated us to shisha and juice. Then going home for what we think is the second and last time, we talk to Ted who tells us to go into his room where we find about 15 people who turn us around and tell us we're going out! Nobody knew where we were going but we followed anyway and ended up 8 people squished in Muhammed's car to go to the club. But while Muhammed was backing out we backed into another car and was spotted by some of the cops that stay along the street. None of us knew what to do and just ended up staying in the car. Funny thing was, no one even cared that there were 8 people jammed into this little car but there were some other issues and eventually we all got out of the car and left. That ended our night as we walked back down the street to the Flamenco hotel.

Good birthday April? I'd say so!
