Considering you all know exactly where we are at (and if you don’t: verbage, livetherevival), I just wanted to update everyone on the lives of those waiting (for the past 2 days) in Alexandria for the Viva Palestina USA vehicles to clear Egyptian customs.
Mosquito bite
#1 on the list… MOSQUITOES! Irresistibly itchy bites are what keep us up late at night 
I think just about every single one of us living together (all the people from Southern California) has been bit several times and counting as you can’t swat mosquitoes while you’re fast asleep. Alexandria is situated near many swamps so there are many more mosquitoes here than Cairo. Most of us unfortunately didn’t bring bug repellant, so that’s something to remember for next time!
Second on the list would definitely be diarrhea… but I’ll leave it at that and say alHamdulilah/Thank God we came prepared for this one… Imodium 
AlHamdulilah, enough of the downsides. We’re in our third day in Alexandria, and overwhelmingly excited to head out for Gaza. InshaAllah/God-willing we hope customs will clear the vehicles tomorrow for us to head out and accomplish our mission to Gaza.
