Today I was assigned to go to five countries in Africa. My Teacher will pay for the expenses of the trip. April 1 I chose Egypt as the first country that I will be going to. When I got there I went on a tour of the pyramid of Gaza. It was very dusty and muggy. There were strange pictures on the wall. Our tour guide told us that they were called hieroglyphics. After the tour, I went to lunch at a nearby inn. I ate Feseekh, which was delicious. It is made of fish that has been sun dried and lightly salted. As I ate my Feseekh, I looked out the window of the inn and gazed at the endless desert. This is what most of the land looks like other than the small green land near the Nile River. That night I watched a show on Egypt’s economy in my petite room. I was bored alright! I learned that most money Egypt has comes from their large oil plants. April 2 This morning I had pita style bread, fried eggs, hummus (chick pea and sesame paste), which was okay. After that I went to an ostrich-racing track. I said that the orange cloth covered ostrich would get last. It got first please. Then I went to the mighty sphinx. Then I went back to my room and went to bad.



April 3 I just got to Chad and it is very hot. I’m in northern Chad, which is mostly desert I’m on my way to the south so I can be in the wetlands. As I flew over the land I saw many mountains and wetlands. Chad also has a republic form of government. Well I better find a place to spend the night. April 4 Last night I watched a show on the history of Chad it is very interesting. They have found many ruins of ancient towns that date back to 2000 BC. Well I’m going to rent a car and drive down to Southern Chad. There I will visit Begon II. Begon II is an old iron mine where there is still an industrial furnace and 50 ovens near a large forest. This forest was used for smelting the iron ore. Begon II is about 30 miles from the town I stayed in.



April 5

I just got into the Central African Republic. It’s a beautiful country, with many mountains and small valleys. It’s a long way to the nearest town so it will be late when I get to town. I just got to town it is

9pm I’m going to the inne to eat and sleep. As I ate I watched traditional tribal dancers. Then I went to sleep.



April 6

I had a good breakfast and I am on my way to the air port. As I drive I listened to a talk show about the government and its economy. It is a Republic and it mane sores of Economy comes from agriculture. Did you now that Central African Republic was the first Republic in Africa. Well I’m at the airport now good bye.
