It was a calm day today, there wasn’t much going on. I went to sleep late, as all Egyptians do, and so I had to sleep till later. I had breakfast at around 11:50 which is basically not breakfast anymore.

I did edit more podcasts for Starting with Jesus. It took me a bit longer, but I was able to accomplish plenty.

In the late afternoon, we headed back to the village. This time, there were other people that were singing in the church. They were also very loud. The people just loved the songs and the singers.

The interesting thing is that if you would only hear the music, you would imagine at least 3 people playing the instruments you hear. But in fact, it is only one person playing the instruments, with the help of an electric piano.

The man playing those songs changes instruments all of the time along with the drums, etc. It is a very particular way of playing the instruments that I’ve never seen before.

Also, the women sit on the left, while the men sit on the right. Each side has a little fence in the middle, as you can see in the picture below.

Lastly, the doors in this village are all very unique. Before leaving today, I took one picture of a door I think is pretty interesting. There are a few more below that I took on Saturday.
