jason so the blog has kinda turned into a picture blog, but they say a picture speaks a thousand words and i dont have time to write that much so.........

siwa, after a 12hr bus ride with a nazi driver i arrived in the oasis of siwa, a small town surrounded by 300 000 palm trees, and 70 000 olive trees, the most isolated place i've been and really beautiful, through pics u cant really get a sense of the place as a whole with all the palm trees reachin all the way to the desert, .i hired a bike and just rode around the town and through the masses of palm trees and went to the famous hot springs and all that, tryin to avoid the heat of the day tho, when its just too hot to do anyting but chill with sum fresh sugarcane juice and just be....nice and peaceful, no taxis or much traffic, except a few motorbikes and jeeps, and loads of donkey carts, got sick for a day or so, but what a place to get sick in!! well not really cuz i bet the hospital isint the best in the world but whatever
