It was heaven because everywhere I looked, there was something to learn, something to see, something to explore.
I loved it, I loved every single minute in the hour and half of time I got to spend there.
I loved the Alexandria library.
The catacombs were interesting with it's mix of Egyptian/Roman and Greek philosophy,
Pompey's pillar was well.. a pillar,
the quatbay fort/citadel was beautiful, but all the more beautiful was the Mediterranean ocean breeze that flowed through it,
but the most beautiful? that library filled with knowledge and wisdom.
My favorite book I found: The Superior Person's Book of Words by Peter Bowler
Favorite word I found in there? Firkin: a small cask used chiefly for liquids, butter, or fish.
I will be very busy from now on: 1 paper finished, 2 more to go, with 2 finals.
In a week and a half I will traveling around the Middle East.
