How He Loves Me So

So a little over a week ago I got on a train with some people from my university and we headed north to a village in between Cairo and Alexandria. There was a week long festival celebrating the harvesting of the cotton and so we all headed up there at around 4. It is so weird being in other parts of Egypt that is not Cairo. There is a different aroma places outside of Cairo put off. Like a soothing and peaceful ambiance that you can almost taste. This village was not like a village that most of you are picturing right now. There were buildings and little restaurants and things like this. This particular town specialized in sweets and were known for their desserts and their agriculture. In fact, this is were Cairo gets most of its produce from which was awesome because I got to stalk up on pomegranates and bananas while I was there and get it super fresh and cheap. Just in case you were wondering, i think I basically eat a pomegranate everyday here...and I have no regrets :)We looked around for a little bit and took pictures and stuff and then gtom some food to eat that was one EGP aka 18 cents for almost any kind of Egyptian of sandwich you can think of. Things were going well, like the people were super nice and smiley and everyone wanted their picture taken. But after a while I realized that I was not the only one taking the pictures, I noticed that the men, women and even the kids had out their cell phones and were taking videos and pictures of us. It was a little odd but I do not think foreigners ever visit this place so I guess I understood. But as night approached we started making a little bit of a ruckus and were drawing way too much attention to ourselves. People started following us and reaching out and touching our hair before long we decided that it would be safest if we headed back to the train station and so we wrapped up trip hectically and headed back to the train station a little early. There was no cotton but you could definitely see the festival part lol
