Before leaving, I took a whole bunch of pictures of Cairo from my room's little balcony. Check out the rubble-strewn roof of the building across the street. Totally the norm for Cairo.

Our guidebook recommended a guesthoust in Phuket called the Thalang Guest House, but it was completely full. They directed us to place right down the street called the Old Town Guest House. Here's the view from our room, which only cost 350 Baht a night (about $8 USD based on the exchange rate at the time).

Meredith stuck her tongue out to do an impression of Piper and right when I snapped the picture, Piper (who is a notorious face-licker) saw Meredith's tongue sticking out and WENT FOR IT! Hahaha. I love this photo soooo much.

Here's Meredith enjoying Piper's cornchip-scented ears. Mmmmmmm! Piper has the longest tongue in the world. When she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue is always peeking out because it's too big to fit in her mouth!

We shot up on the roof of the building where Nerve has its offices. While Siege was crossing the roof, he unknowingly walked across some boards that were covering an ELEVATOR SHAFT and fell through UP TO HIS WAIST. If he hadn't managed to stop himself, he totally would have fallen ELEVEN STORIES down an ELEVATOR SHAFT!

How insane is it that this is a picture of Siege just having saved himself from death. (Er, how about the fact that I didn't know Siege had fallen into an elevator shaft so I stopped to take this photo before helping him out. Sorry for almost killing you, for the sake of a photo!)

Fast forward a couple of minutes later and I ended up making a stupid bet. Which ends up leading to photos like...

We stood on the roof gawking and trying to make sense of what was happened. A few minutes later, the 2nd tower collapsed. I don't think I could speak for several minutes.

Then, the first tower collapsed. I couldn't catch my breath. We didn't know what had happened. None of us thought at the time that the plane crash could've caused the building to collapse. We assumed that whoever crashed the plane must've also planted a bomb...which really scared the shit out of us. I remember thinking "Wow. They crashed a plane to get everyone's attention, and then they blew the building up."
