45-61

The past two weeks have been pretty uneventful, going to university library to study during the day and watching the World Cup at night. However yesterday I went with my roommates to a Crusader's castle- KraK des Chevaliers in central western Syria. It was a long trek there, a bus ride and a Kia ride to the castle as apparently all the buses were "full". The castle itself was okay not too awe inspiring, but ruins are starting to bore me a little bit so that's just my opinion. This coming weekend we might head to Aleppo to see all the sites there but that is still up in the air since my joyous 22nd birthday is approaching. My plans have changed a bit since I have decided not to tour Egypt to avoid spending a lot of money, I'm just going to Jordan for a few days than taking a ferry from Jordan to Egypt to avoid Israel then a bus from Sharm el Sheik to Cairo and spending a few days there to see the sites close to the city aka Pyramids and Memphis the Egyptian Museum.
