canada dry, never die!

this is a statement that, for some reason, eypgtians love saying when they find out you are from canada. we found out today that, "it is eygptian joke". they also love asking if you are from vancouver.

we thought we'd answer a few questions:

brian and erin: we brought 1.5 t-shirts each...and yes, we have definitely gotten the kushari gas!

dave: it's true...not ALL our clothes are 'quick-dry'...but we wish they were.

kara: lars bought a top-of-the-line 'quick dry' towel while matt bought a bottom-of-the- line...we found that neither actually dry you off (but they do dry quickly).

blair: no, matt did not get his pants professionally tucked in...he's just that talented.

abby: matt says "camel".

tio theo: so far we have enough to eat, but we're not counting on it as we head south!

lucas and brody: uncle 'larsh' misses you too!

johnny fukes: T.I.A.

russel: mogadishu might be lovely, but we won't be visiting it...


...thanks for reading! remember to check out the "interactive map extraordinaire" on the top right!

Matt, you should have been there yesterday at work... kathy came in and told us her steve bell story for about the 100th time. Did you hear it yet? I think she may have been a little tipsy again, she said she had a little bit of wine before she came, lol. Anyways, she wanted me to tell you that you have to come back and that she misses your cute eyes and a couple other things which are just embarassing.

Its great to hear your stories there! It sounds like you are having a blast :) Are you getting stretched a lot too? My favourite blog entry is definitely the one of you on the camel... camel's are pretty awkward animals, great combo ;)

If you are bringing back souvenirs, I would like a large pink diamond. I hear they're a dime a dozen over there.
