Today we went to The Egyptian Museum. We got to see the amazing King Tut burial mask. We also got to see both of his coffins. They were beautiful covered in gold and stones. Then we went to go see all of the things that they buried him with. Did you know that took out his heart, lungs, liver and stomach and put them in jars for the afterlife? Then we saw the golden boxes that his coffins were in. What they were was one huge golden box. Then there was another one that fit inside. And then another one and then the coffins one inside each other. I thought that was a very clever idea. What I saw that I thought was the coolest thing was that we got to go see some mummies. There were about 8 or 10 mummies and they were different kings and queens from ancient Egypt. We also had our very good guide named Hamada to help us understand all of the things that we were seeing.

At the end of the day we went to dinner at an Egyptian restaurant with friends of my Dad’s. It was nice to meet them and their daughter. My favorite thing that I ate for dinner was the yummy bread. Egyptians make delicious bread.
