i love alexandria.

normally i like to be more creative with my subject lines, but i can't think of a single other thing.

we've only been here for about five hours but alexandria's already shaping up to be my favorite city in egypt. the weather is gorgeous--think about five degrees warmer than sb. it's on the beach, and every time i'm in a beach city i'm more and more convinced that i need to live near an ocean forever. it's adorably quaint, but big at the same time. where luxor was hot and dusty, alex is breezy and has that ocean-air feeling. where cairo was busy and rushed, alex seems less populated and relaxed.

i know, i know, that's a lot to gather from five hours, nicki. why don't you tell me how you feel in two days?

ok, fine, i will. after i've had at least two more glasses of the best mango juice ever, fresh mediterranean seafood, and coffee overlooking the sea.

also, we have a tv in our adorable room in our french-style hotel (elevator with doors you have to close yourself, one of those locks that goes up and down the whole door), and friends was on earlier. it's amazing how much i like friends.
