As most of you have heard Istanbul, Turkey just underwent a terrorist attack this past weekend killing 17 civilians as injuring over 150. The city also experienced another attack about ten days ago when five people were killed outside the US Consulate. After many meetings, phone conferences, and anticipation we have all been told we will now be going to Alexandria, Egypt instead of Istanbul this week. We’re currently 1,000 miles away so tomorrow will be a “sea day” (no classes!) and we will arrive to Alexandria on Wednesday. It was tragic to hear that this event took place but due to safety and liability the administration decided bringing 600 American students into a country that just went through an act of terrorism is never a good idea.
Hope your Monday was less eventful than mine, but I must say Im very anxious to see some pyramids and mummies in a few days!!
