Wednesday morning, Holli and I joined some of our college conversation students at the College of Medicine for an outing to the zoo with the orphans. We were pretty impressed that we navigated the bus route successfully, and even made it on foot to the college. But there were several possible entrances for entry. We asked one of the guards to call Shorouk, one of our students, to let her know which gate we were entering. She came to get us, but we only managed to gain entry to the first gate, where we had to wait since we didn't have a school id. After a couple of hours we finally made it to the orphanage (left), then had to wait there for nearly an hour due to numerous miscommunications. 
Finally, about 3-1/2 hours later, we were on our way to the zoo. (This is referred to as being on Egypt time.)
