Alexandria Egypt

So the Trip begins...


A little history of ALEX--- Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Was Capital to Egypt for about 1000 years until the Muslim Conquest in 641 AD which then Cairo became the capital. More history....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria

Me at the Beautiful LAS Airport.

So after 24 hrs of flying time I needed to relax. I found myself in the mean streets of ALEX at 4am smoking the shesha. The peach flavor was quiet breath taking because it got me all tired.


A beautiful view from my hotel in ALEX. The sun is starting to come up.

After a shower we go tour the city... First the palace of Mr. Muhammad Ali. NOPE not the fighter; but the great King of Egypt. This palace later served as the residence of King Mustafa and now is a summer retreat for the current President Mr. Mohammed Hosni MUBARAK.

The Gardens of the Palace.


Anyone recognizes this add??????

Hint: Raising the Bar.......



The Fort above served as a Jail for the people trying to invade Egypt.


"More Mercy; More Compasion"
ARAB refran
Say it with me........... GLOBALIZATION
NOT GOING AWAY.







All the taxis are the same. There are about 1 million taxis. No joke....
Tower of Pompeii. Romans wanted to recreate Pompeii in Egypt.

These are the stairs they used to take to go to the Library. They not only exercised their mind but their bodies too. Just look at the Gladiators. They used to train here. HAHA.

Trying the automatic picture taking tool in my camera......

Replenish Bro... Is over 104 degrees in the valley....

Our Body Guard.... Also, Sadam Hussein's son.

People just crossing the street without looking. There was a funeral coming by. Check this out. So for Muslims women are evil right? Well they are not even allowed in the cementary unless they die and even then the only one that buries them is a family member and only 1. Oh yeah forgot to mention, the dead body was not in a casket; was chilling in the back seat of the car as if it was sleeping. The casket rides in a different car.... Those Muslims...

Believe it or not; this is the Justin Timberlake of Egypt. For my Mexicano brothers this is like Talia....

So there you have it. My 3 day experience in ALEX. Wanna see how the locals live? And we complain that we don't make enough money at 24 with a Master's degree. Those Americans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CASH MONEYYZZZZZ
