Day 3
Juliet's POV:
After we got up the next morning, and before coffee, there was an alarm blaring. I mockingly flashed my hands at the alarm, glaring at where I thought it was coming from. Colby thought it was because of his blow dryer and I turned my glare to him. The front door opened and we saw Heath pressing the doorbell.
I frowned at him. "Thank you so much. Now, you're getting me coffee."
"No, I'm not, Juliet."
"Yes you are."
Heath relented almost immediately and sighed. "Fine. I'll get you coffee."
We readied to leave, and once again, Heath was like a dad. He had water bottles in his backpack. We ate breakfast, and since there was a Dunkin' close by, he got me my favorite drink. I gave him a smile. "Thank you!"
"You're lucky I like you."
After breakfast, we headed to Cairo.
While we were waiting for our car to go, Elton noticed a machine gun two feet away from Colby and I. That wasn't nerve-wracking at all. One of the soldiers told Elton to delete the clip, but instead, he deleted another clip. I can definitely appreciate Elton's savagery.
We walked into a museum to explore. We made our way towards our guide and Sam said, "Our guide's so cute."
"Which one?" Elton asked in a teasing tone.
Sam placed a hand on Heath's shoulder and Colby glanced to me and smiled. "It's obviously Jules."
According to the rules, we weren't allowed to film a majority of the four hours in the museum. Elton filmed the bit he was allowed to. I took Colby's hand and we looked around the hotel. There was a lot of cool history here, and it reminded me a lot of home.
We saw Ramses' body. I've never seen a mummy before, so it was cool to see. Everything was in amazing condition, considering how old the mummy was. Once we were finished, we headed into the gift shop because naturally, we had to be touristy as frick.
We went to Old Cairo and entered through an old subway station. Sam joked about going to Hogwarts and tried jumping through the wall, but didn't make it through. I thought for a moment and said, "Try again. Maybe Dobby is preventing you from catching the Hogwarts Express."
Colby laughed and said, "I'd like to see that."
Elton sighed. "No, guys. I don't want to take anyone to the hospital, if I can help it."
We walked inside and came to where Mary and Jesus had stayed for six months. It had become a church in 300 A.D.
I closed my eyes and tried to imagine what it would have been like. I tried to imagine the wise men coming to give their gifts to baby Jesus, as they came later, and not when Jesus was born.
Elton made a joke about doing an overnight challenge here, which probably wouldn't work. I stood back and studied the small barn. I sent a quick text to my family group chat letting them know that I saw where Jesus and Mary stayed in Egypt.
Our guide led us to another portion of the church and as soon as we walked inside, Colby looked out a window and said, "This is some Assassin's Creed shit."
I covered his mouth and replied, "We're in a church. You're not supposed to curse."
"Yeah, Colby." Sam added. Then, referring back to what Colby had said, he stated, "It sounds like it too."
We left the church and Elton started petting a dog he had found. Colby got emotional over the dog and wondered if it had rabies. Heath and Elton wondered if the dogs barked in Egyptian. I nodded seriously. "Yes, they do. There's a new device that allows dogs to bark in the language of their country."
