Our school has provided buses for us to take to and from school everyday. There is one "early" bus that picks people up at 6:00 am. We usually get to school around 6:25 am. The "normal" buses come at 7:00 am and arrive usually no later than 7:35 am. School starts at 8:00 am. Then, for after school, the buses leave at 4:00 pm and the late bus at 5:00 or 5:30 pm. It usually takes about an hour to get home, if not longer.
**It's roughly 16 miles from school to our apartment.**
Before coming to Egypt, I had no idea what it would actually look like to live in a desert. Would I see anything green? Would I see sand for miles? It was just really hard for me to image what it would be like. It's also one of the biggest questions I get asked by people back home. What does living in the desert look like?!
Luckily, being on the bus for long, we get to see some really interesting sights. So, I thought the best way to share with you what living in a desert looks like was to take video of our drive home. I have two videos for you. One is almost 6 minutes long and the other is about 3 minutes long. I hope they don't give you motion sickness like the actual bus rides do sometimes.
