This weekend I'm going to Alexandria. Or Iskandraya. Or in common usage, Alex. As in "I'm going to Alex," or "When we were in Alex..." But you know, I never here anyone refer to it as Iskan or some such shortening of the Arabic name.
My friend and classmate, Miriam, has invited me to visit. Another classmate, Bob, is coming too. Bob has to get a hotel, but Miriam said I can stay with her family. Oh the benefits of being a woman!
We're only going for a day/one night, but it will be nice to leave Cairo. Alexandria is a coastal city, so I get to spend some time gazing at the Mediterranean. Life's tough.

And I'm sure you'll want to go to the library there as well...
