We just had a great 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: time that night with my friends and I stayed up 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: till four in the morning, guys. So that was on Saturday, 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: right before I left. And then on Sunday, Emio took 22 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: me to go get a massage to get our nails done, 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: and all while we were out, my siblings were at 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: the house preparing. My siblings and Emilio's family. They surprised 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: me at home with a pool party. It was a 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: very chill barbecue. My sister Jenica made smash burgers and 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: hot dogs and it was really cute. They saying happy Birthday, 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: really really nice. The next day we flew out to Egypt. Okay, 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: this flight, I've never been to Egypt. I had never 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: thought about going to Egypt, guys, to be honest, like 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't really on my bucket list. I started getting 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: into Egypt because of Emilio. He loves history and I 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: love history too, but just in a different way. But anyway, 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: we have watched a lot of documentaries. We love documentaries, 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: and Egypt was like top especially for Emilia because he's 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: been wanting to go to Egypt since he was five 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: years old after one of his uncles went and brought 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: him back a little mini mummy and it's like tomb 39 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: he still has it, by the way, and so anyway, 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: he's the one that got me into it, into the 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: pyramids and the pharaohs and the whole thing, and I 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: really did it more for him. I don't think he 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: even knows this. I was like, okay, I was like, 44 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: I do want to go because it's Africa, that's the 45 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: motherland of the world. Guys, there's so much I just 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: wanted to feel God's presence. To be honest, I'm like, 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: where can I go. That's so much history and I'm like, 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Of course Egypt and media has been 49 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: wanting to go fitt I'm not gonna lie. I was 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: a little scared. My brother Mikey was like, sister, please 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: don't go. A war just started. I don't know, like 52 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: where you guys are going to go to Charmel she 53 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: because I have to tell you guys exactly all that 54 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: is on the border. It shares a border with Israel. 55 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: And I told the media I was like, look, I'm 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: not scared because I'm like if I tomorrow, I know 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to Heaven. I am on first class to Heaven. 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm not worried. Are you worried? And usually 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: he's a little bit more cautious and he's like, honestly, babe, no, 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: I've talked to my friends in Egypt, and you know, 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: he knows a couple of people, and he's like, they're 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: totally fine. They're a very very peaceful country. So I'm like, 63 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: all right, cool, let's go. This is like a day 64 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: before we were like, okay, are we going to cancel 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: or not? But anyway, we get on the flight and 66 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: it was great. We stopped in Paris because it was 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: a straight shot to Paris and that was like a 68 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: I think like a seven hour flight, and then we 69 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: had a layover in Paris for a few hours, and 70 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: then from there we went to Egypt, which was another 71 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: i think four hour flight from Paris to Egypt. So 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: our first stop in Egypt was Cairo. We landed around 73 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: three am. It was like two thirty almost three am, 74 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: and I was a little nervous because I didn't know 75 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: what to expect. You know, everyone was telling me cover 76 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: your shoulders. They don't like tattoos. They're a very very 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: conservative country. And I was like, okay, all my wardrobe 78 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: was just that I was like, I'm going to cover 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: up even if it's hot, and Emilio was a little 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: nervous because he's like, I if I didn't have you, 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: i'd be fine, But I'm like worried about you. But 82 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm never really scared of anything. Like it's weird. I 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: was like, okay, cool, Like we'll freaking figure this out, 84 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Like that's been the model of my entire life since 85 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: I was little. I'm gonna figure it out. But when 86 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: we got there, everything goes smoothly, Like we went through customs, 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: it was fine. They just asked Emilio if he smoked 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: weed or CBD. I don't know why, because there was 89 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of people and they hand picked him. I'm 90 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: assuming because of his tattoos, to be honest, That's what 91 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: his friend told him later, It's like, it's probably because 92 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: of your tattoos. And then some people told us while 93 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: we were on our tours that he looked like a 94 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: guy that smoked weed. I was like, how does a 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: guy that smoke sweed look? We go to our hotel, 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: We get to our hotel, very nice hotel, right on 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: the Nile. Guys, it was so nice. I told myself. 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: I was like, if I'm going to take this trip, 99 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: I want to be comfortable. So we stayed it at 100 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: the Four Seasons, and I wanted a four Seasons or 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: a Hilton or something like that because it's something I'm 102 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: familiar with. Just in case I didn't like the food, 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: I knew for sure we would be able to eat 104 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: well in the hotel because that's very important. Food is 105 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: very important to me. So anyway, we get to the hotel. 106 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: Everything's fine. By this time, it's like almost four am, 107 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: and we check in and we're unpacking and we realize 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: that we're missing one of Emilio's luggages, and he starts 109 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: stressing out, and I'm like, it's okay, babe, it's fine. 110 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, I remember, I know we have it. I 111 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: just I don't know where it is, but I know 112 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: that we brought it from home. That'll tell you. Anyway, 113 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: we go back to the airport and we're looking all around. 114 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: How they led us back into the terminal, I have 115 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: no idea because obviously there's like a language barrier, but 116 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: they let us beckon and we were looking everywhere and 117 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: we did not find it. It was nowhere to be found. 118 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: I started praying. I was like, God, this is where 119 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: all his all his the chunk of his clothing is. 120 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: I was like, he's gonna is this going to ruin 121 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: our trip? I was like, God, please please help us. 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, we're about to walk out, 123 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: and then this guy whistles and he's like come here, 124 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, they found it. And they found it, guys. 125 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: The guy was like is it this one? And I'm like, oh, 126 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: you are so good God, like I swear guys. I 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: was like, I told him and I was like, don't worry. 128 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: I was like, we're gonna find it. So I guess 129 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: we forgot it. Once you get it off of like 130 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: the little luggage band thing, and then we have to 131 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: put it Like in Mexico they do this too. They 132 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: put it through like another a secondary security detector, like 133 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: the metal detector things, and someone was kind of rushing us, 134 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: the person behind us. So I think we were just 135 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: a little flustered and tired and we forgot one. And 136 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: we forgot it there, sony who We go back to 137 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: the hotel and we go to sleep.

So Egypt was a little bit more 168 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: of not so vacation y because I'm used to waking 169 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: up at home at five in the morning, and that's 170 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: basically what I was doing in Egypt. So that was 171 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: a little hard for me because I'm like, Okay, I'm 172 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm on vacation. I want to sleep in I don't 173 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: want to put on an alarm. But then I was 174 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: very grateful. Once I was on the tour, we had 175 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: our own personal tour guide who spoke perfect English and 176 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: was really really good. The first day we went to 177 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: the pyramids and just to see like they were just 178 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: so I don't even know what the word is. I 179 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: don't know if it was impactful or overwhelming with like 180 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: energy going to those pyramids and walking into a pyramid 181 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: or down, because you're basically walking into a tomb. And 182 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: one thing I want to say, because a lot of 183 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: people have said who made the pyramids? Who built them? 184 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: Were they the aliens, etc? Or were they slaves? Our 185 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: tour guide said that definitely they were people. They were 186 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: not slaves. These people basically for twenty five years, that 187 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: was their life purpose for them. It was I was 188 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: born to build this pyramid for the king because it'll 189 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: get me closer to God. That's kind of the whole 190 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: gist of it. So he's like, they were never slaves. 191 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: Everyone was happy to do it. It was their passion. 192 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: So that kind of made me feel a little bit 193 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: better because I'm not gonna lie. I went They're like, Okay, 194 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: maybe aliens did make the pyramids, you know, but it 195 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: was beautiful how they explained it, and just to see 196 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: how intelligent they were, like even the dialect, like I 197 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: wonder what it sounded like, you know, but because it's 198 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: all in hilogriphics, you know that that's how they expressed 199 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: themselves and told all these stories and left their book 200 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: on stone. Guys, it was just insane. And again, they 201 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: didn't have social media, they didn't have telephones or televisions 202 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: anything that kept them from focusing on anything other than 203 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: their faith and the stars. They were so connected to 204 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: the stars, to astrology and imagine, like I would close 205 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: my eyes, I'm like, oh my gosh, like just imagine 206 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: how there was no pollution. The stars were probably like 207 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: so bright and so clear. This guy was so clear, 208 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: like of course, because yes, the pyramids are aligned to 209 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the stars and certain, you know, Emilio knows more about it. 210 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: I wish I had him on this episode, so he 211 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: can't tell you, guys, but oh my gosh, you should 212 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: have seen a medio space. He was in heaven, guys. 213 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: He was in ecstasy the entire time we were in Egypt. 214 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: He just had all the energy in the world. I'm like, 215 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. It's so hard to get him out 216 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: of bed here because he's not an early bird like me. 217 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: And over there he was like ready to go, and 218 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh. And me I was like, 219 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I just want to sleep a little bit. 220 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: But then when I was on the tours again, I 221 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: was fine. It was so freaking hot. I got such 222 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: a nice tan. Everything was amazing. Like the tours were long, 223 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: the days were long. So by the time we got 224 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: to our room. I was super exhausted. We were in 225 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Cairo for like five days. We went to Alexandria and 226 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: had really really beautiful monuments there, and you know, the 227 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: history was just amazing. It's so much better than reading 228 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: it in like your history, but because you have someone 229 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: like speaking to you and giving you a visual it's 230 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: just I was so into it, it's crazy. And then 231 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: we went to Luxer. Luxer for sure had to be 232 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: my favorite. Cairo's awesome. It's very city, very lively. We 233 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: didn't party or anything in Cairo because we were tired, 234 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: but for my birthday we had a really nice like 235 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: dinner and stuff, but it was more really just to 236 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: sight see and just see the history and feel the 237 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: energy there in Egypt. And then we went to Luxer, 238 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: and Luxer for sure for me was beautiful, like it was. 239 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the colors, guys that we saw in these 240 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: tombs that have been there for over three thousand years 241 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: and they're still vibrant because again these tombs are underground, 242 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: there's like no sunlight, so they preserve. And just to 243 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: see how like how it all was done and why 244 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: it was done. And I learned about so many you know, 245 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: and of course, we all know about King Tut you know, 246 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: the boy king, and about Cleopatra. But I learned about 247 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: a pharaoh and her name was Hat ship Suit, Hat 248 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: ship Suit. The reason I remember that is be like, okay, 249 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: just remember hat and then a ship and then a suit. 250 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: So hat chip soup. And she was actually the first 251 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: female pharaoh guys before Cleopatra. And she took the throne 252 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: from her nephew slash step son. So I'm assuming she 253 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: married her brother and she took the throne from her 254 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: nephew slash step son. And she was a very first, 255 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: very powerful. She ruled Egypt for I believe it was 256 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: seventeen year seventeen or twenty five, I can't remember. I 257 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: learned about so many different furrows, but for sure she's 258 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: my favorite. She is buried in the Valley of Kings, 259 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: the only woman that is buried in the Valley of Kings, 260 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: And you know, that's that's what I'm all about. I 261 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: was like, ooh, this girl was breaking freaking barriers and 262 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: she would go out into like the public and dress 263 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: as a man. I'm assuming a lot of people whom 264 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: she was a woman, but I think the public did 265 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: not know, so she would disguise herself as a man. 266 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: So anyway, I thought she was very interesting. So AnyWho, 267 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: that is a little bit about the history and what 268 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: I learned, so I will tell you people were nice. 269 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: I never felt scared, to be honest. I started feeling 270 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: more and more comfortable as days went by. Again, I 271 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: thought that I was supposed to go and not show 272 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: my shoulders or anything like that. And I was fine, 273 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: of course, like showing too much cleavage or being too 274 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: provocative and having too much of like tight clothing is 275 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: a little frowned upon. But then I saw other girls 276 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: and that I for sure were turists and they were 277 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: like in booty shorts and the whole thing. And people 278 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: do stare a little bit more and you draw attention 279 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: that you don't want. So I was happy to kind 280 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: of just I just want to show my shoulders littleit 281 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: because it was hot as hell, guys. It was so hot. 282 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: It was like in the hundreds. The sun hit different, 283 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: like so different. So I for sure was just happy 284 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: to like breathe because there was no way. I was like, 285 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to be covered the entire time, and media 286 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: wanted me to put like a little scarfer on my head. 287 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: And he just thinks it looks really cool when they 288 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: have there And I don't know what e Medio knows 289 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: that I forgot the name of them, but when they 290 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: cover their hair and their eyes and stuff, I didn't 291 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: know what to expect. I was going out there with 292 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: like an open heart and an open mind, and I 293 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,359 Speaker 1: just now see the world differently, Like they're very nice. 294 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: They're actually very respectful. Emilio's friend who lives out there, 295 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: I met his wife and their child, and they were 296 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: so nice, like he would say hello to me with 297 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: a handshake. They're not allowed to touch other women, which 298 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: I think is kind of cool, you know.

The water was salty as heck, 333 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: but so clear, and I got lost. I was snorkeling 334 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: and I would just get lost and looking at all 335 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: the fish, so many different colors, so many different like types, 336 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: and just to see like it literally is another world 337 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: down there, like in the sea. It was just so beautiful. 338 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: I was like my favorite because then I didn't have 339 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: to put on I didn't have to put on an alarm. 340 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: I slept in, We slept in. It was phenomenal. The 341 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: way Emilio planned it, because he planned it for us, 342 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: was great. Like all of our tours. On our first tour, 343 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: I will say I wrote a camel. I will I 344 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about riding a camel than 345 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: like an elephant. Even like the horse carriages, I feel 346 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: worse getting on those, like in New York than the 347 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: camel because I feel like that's kind of what they're 348 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: made for. They and I made sure that I was like, Okay, 349 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: do you feed your camel? I asked his name was. 350 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: He was so nice. His name was Happy, the guy 351 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: that helped us, and the camel. His camel was named Charlie. 352 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: I'll never forget because his voice, the way he would say, 353 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: He's like, okay, Charlie, come on, Charlie. So anyway, it 354 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: was very nice. It was a great experience. It was 355 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: very scary. I don't think I ever need to do 356 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: it again, just because to get on and get off 357 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: of the camp you're literally like facing down, like you 358 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: can fall on your face, and like it's a pretty 359 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: freaking they're high, they're freaking tall. But it was a 360 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: nice experience and eMedia rode one and it was nice, 361 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: and I I was a little worried about sharing it, 362 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: but I'm like, I don't want to lie either. You 363 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: know what else? I think those are the things. I mean, 364 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: just seeing all the artifacts. We brought a bunch back 365 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: I spent. We spent a lot on the artifacts. We 366 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: literally just opened them this morning. And Media opened these 367 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: two big boxes that we got shipped of like kink 368 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: tut and all these things that we bought because Emilia 369 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: wanted he wants a whole room of just Egyptian stuff, 370 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: which I'm supporting him. One hundred percent. So yeah, there 371 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: was no way I was going to be able to 372 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: pack that in my luggage because of course you're girl 373 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: packed and overpacked. I told myself, I wasn't going to 374 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: do this, guys. I told myself. I was like, okay, 375 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: I know how many days I'm going to be there. 376 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I usually like to take two changes a day, and 377 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: I probably took like four for each day. I don't 378 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: know how and why that happened, to the point where 379 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: I had three luggages, Emilio had two, and then we 380 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: had a little carry ons. Okay, so it was pretty 381 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: crazy and they were all very heavy, and I had 382 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: to leave a luggage with Kim, an extra luggage just 383 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: for Paris that was going to be sent with my 384 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: docufollow because they met us out in Paris and don't 385 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: get to that right now. But I did overpack, and 386 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: there was no way these artifacts were going to fit 387 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: in any of my bags they were so heavy. So 388 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: it all worked out. It was amazing. And if I 389 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: can give anyone advice is if you're going to go 390 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: on tours, get a tour guide because there is a 391 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: lot of hustling out there. And what I mean by 392 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 1: that is they will be very nice, and we experienced 393 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: this and it was very disappointing. Towards the end of 394 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: my trip, I started getting very frustrated and I was 395 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: being vocal about it because I didn't really feel like 396 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: they see women as less. To be honest, they really 397 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: like respect women, and there are places where women are 398 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: not allowed to go. That's just part of their religion 399 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: and I understand that. But I never felt like I 400 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't talk. And media was a little worried about me 401 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: talking to certain men, but with time, it just didn't 402 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: feel like that, Like I didn't feel like I couldn't 403 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: and that's not really me. So I was like, I'm 404 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: just gonna be myself. I'm not doing anything wrong. Some 405 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: men wouldn't look at me in my eyes when I 406 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: was talking. They would just like direct themselves to a medium. Again, 407 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: that's all part of the religion, and it's more of 408 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: a respect thing I think towards the other man, not 409 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: necessarily like, oh, we look down on women. But anyway, 410 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 1: the hustling. Back to the hustling, because hustling was a 411 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: big turn off for me. You give them ten pounds 412 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: and they're like, no, this isn't enough. I need more. 413 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: I need I want dollars. Like they'll tell you I 414 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: want dollars or they'll be like, oh, we'll help you, 415 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: and we're like no, no, we don't need any help. 416 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: It's finely like no, no, no, no worries, I don't 417 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: want any money. That's exactly what they say. And then 418 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they help you and they're like, hey, 419 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: give me money, and we're like, well you just said 420 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: you don't want we don't have any money. They're like, 421 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: well you need to go go go to the ATM, 422 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: like this is too little, or like they did that 423 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: to us at the airport. It was pretty frustrating. I 424 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: had to tell the guy when we were going to Paris, 425 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: the guy, the guy that was helping us at the 426 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: counter even in the airport, we gave him money and 427 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: he's like, no more, I want more, and I said no, 428 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm not giving you more. No, this is your job, 429 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: like I'm not doing that. Like I'm all about tipping. 430 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: I love tipping, but if you give me good service 431 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: and also don't like, don't be that way. So I 432 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: was pissed. I'm not gonna lie. Media was like I'm 433 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: glad you said something because the media is very nice 434 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: and very patient, and so am I. But also I 435 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: don't like to be like pressured into things. So that's 436 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: one thing for sure. Take a tour guide, someone from 437 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: a company, someone that you know is going to help you, 438 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: because the guides do help with the other hustlers out 439 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: on the streets. So before we go to Paris, I 440 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: will tell you that I got recognized in Egypt by 441 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: an Egyptian guy. We were at the airport heading to Paris, actually, 442 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: and I hear someone say, cheeky's mind you. I had 443 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: been in Egypt for two weeks and no one had 444 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: noticed me. Nothing. And then this guy starts putting like 445 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: a little he makes a little heart with his hands. 446 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: He's like cheeese and I'm like, oh hi. I'm like, 447 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: you know me and he's like, yeah, I follow you 448 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: on Facebook. I love everything you do. And I'm like, 449 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying, like in Spanish. He's like no, 450 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: but I follow you. I'm like, are you Egyptian? And 451 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: he said yeah, I was born and raised here and 452 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: I was tripping out guys for me. I was like 453 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: a It even made my eyes water because I'm like, 454 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like someone knows me. In Egypt, it 455 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: was the craziest thing. And again I had been there 456 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: for two weeks and just to hear someone say cheeky's 457 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: it was just the weirdest and craziest thing. But anyway, 458 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: now we're going to fly to Paris. So Paris was 459 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: my absolute favorite. I loved Egypt. They're so different night 460 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: and day. But I love Paris. You guys, Oh my gosh. 461 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: I fell in love just to see how present people 462 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: are and how engaged they are in conversation. Again, people 463 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: were like, oh, people from friends are very very rude. 464 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: There are rude and grumpy people all over the world. 465 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: I didn't experience that. Maybe a couple people, but then 466 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: you just smile at them and it's fine. Everyone is 467 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: just so present, Like I don't even know how to 468 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: explain it. I would sit there and just people watch, 469 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: like I would just watch everyone, and it felt like 470 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: everyone was in a movie, like they were having, of 471 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: course their own conversations, and people were just so happy. 472 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: And it was eleven o'clock at night and there were 473 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: girls walking by themselves smoking a cigarette looking so cute. 474 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: The fashion is everything out there, guys, Like the food 475 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: was phenomenal there. I felt like there was a little 476 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: bit more of like a language barrier, because they would 477 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: speak to me in French and I would just because 478 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: all I knew was bonjol merci, which is thank you, 479 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: excuse a moan, which is excuse me, and that's it. 480 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's because people thought I 481 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: looked French, because I got that a few times, but 482 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: I would just look at them like I have no 483 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: idea what's going on, but they all kind of spoke English, 484 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: and again we managed. But it was awesome, guys. The food, 485 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the cafes, the bread, everything was just 486 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: so good. The pasta, oh my gosh. I'm not a 487 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: huge pasta person, and oh my goodness, that's another place 488 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: where I was just carving it up and I did 489 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: not feel bad about it at all. The butter was 490 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: so perfect and so soft, and the coffee. Everything was 491 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: just delightful, delightful.

The view phenomenal. We 503 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: took amazing pictures with the Eiffel Tower super lit up. 504 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: Just all of the Instagram pictures right that I still 505 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: haven't posted. I still need to post everything. But the food, 506 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. We had the choice between a five, 507 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: a six, and an eight course meal, and of course 508 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: I chose the eight because they had like oysters just 509 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: on the eighth on like the eighth course one right, 510 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: and I was like, I really want the oysters, babe. 511 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: So he's like, okay, I'm not really hungry, and I 512 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: don't think this bace is going to be good because 513 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: I could just already tell. And then the guy's like, okay, 514 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: you both have to get the same like, so he 515 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: was just like really annoyed about that. But Oh my gosh, guys, 516 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: the food was not good at all, and it was 517 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: super expensive, and I think they just take advantage. It's 518 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: for sure a tourist trap. And I'm like, why can't 519 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: they just have good food, because even if you're a 520 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: local and you have this view, I would keep coming 521 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: if the food was good, Like, I'm never going to 522 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: go to that restaurant ever again. So Amelia was saying, 523 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: He's like, we started off rough and then we ended 524 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: off rough, but everything in between was amazing. Our freaking 525 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: trip was great. Three weeks. Had never taken a trip 526 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: this long, you guys. I spent a lot. I definitely did. 527 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is my fortieth this is 528 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: my first year being married, my first year anniversary.

My 532 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: friends kept asking me, because they know me for years, 533 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: They're like, are you homesick? I'm like no, and I'm like, 534 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: it's because my home is a media and I know 535 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: that sounds so like cliche, but I did not feel homesick, 536 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: like I started missing my routine.
