What a long day i have had. I spent half the day in my room recovering from an extremely virulent bout of king tut's revenge. I attended to workshops with some fabulous and talented teachers. and I went on the cheesiest nile dinner cruise. The belly dancer on the cruise made her entrance in a huge flower carried by four men in white tuxedos, very funny. tommorrow i'm getting fitted for costumes and figuring out how i'm going to get all this shit back to the States. I appreciate all you well wishes so much and i'm getting lots of souvenirs to bring you all when i see you next.
