Day 4 of Protests (cont): NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

8:45pm

THE COUNTRY IS IN FLAMES. THE COUNTRY IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

People are looting stores and carrying merchandise in the streets. Fire has been set to the National Democratic Party headquarters, the Cairo Trade Center, and a hotel which has not been identified. Now I am REALLY FREAKING OUT. If they’re attacking hotels it puts foreigners in danger and now I am terrified that the Embassy will recall all American citizens and talk about evacuation. The US Embassy has already warned Americans not to travel to Egypt unless absolutely necessary.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD DON’T MAKE ME LEAVE EGYPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soldiers are guarding the Egyptian Museum and the TV tower Thank God.

9:00pm

Tanya just called and delivered the exact words I’ve been praying to hear: We’re not going anywhere. We are waiting to see what happens. They are making arrangements to bring everyone back from Dahab on a bus. THANK GOD THANK GOD THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
