Egypt VIII

You can use your cell phone but conversations must be low. No cell phone conversations at the desk where you can make in queries. Most of the staff is bilingual. We find out that we can use the computers there but there is a charge that you pay before you enter. Notebooks and writing utensils can be... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt VII

Jan 10 th Today is the day! We are off to the library of Alexandria. Wow! I have read about it but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would actually go to it. I wonder if there are any documents or books from the original library. We take a cab ride across town. The cab ride is only... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt VI

Jan 8 th We watch tv which doesn’t seem to have the same cable stations as we had while we were in Cairo. “Do you like Egyptian movies? There is always belly dancing in every one of them.” “Really? Why is that?” He just laughs and says “Because it’s Egyptian!” “There is an actress who suffered much... Sign in to see full entry.

Fellow Bloggers

I love how all of you miss me as much as I miss you. Well I haven't left for Egypt yet. I am writing that story in present tense. So sorry for the confusion. I will continue to post. I hope to be leaving this week for Egypt. We miss each other so much. Frankly I don't know how couples survived... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt V

Laundry is hard to do. We use one of those washing machines that you have to wring the clothes out yourself. After we do that we hang it outside to dry on the balcony. On a normal day that is not a problem. It’s a big problem when it rains because the wind can blow so hard that the pins break and... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt V

It’s easier to travel halfway across the world when you know what waits you. It’s been amazing to be here again. Seeing more of Egypt. We will be going back to Cairo and apply for my residency so I no longer need to have a visa when I come here. Once we have been married two years I can get an... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt spring IV

We walk to the local grocer to stock up on groceries and buy a couple of knives. We stop at the city square to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. We walk back to the flat and put all the food away. We decide to go for a walk while the weather is nice. The skies are clear but there is quite a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt spring III

I can smell a difference in the air. It’s not just the sea air but also a lack of pollution – fresh clean sea air. It takes up about twenty minutes to arrive at the building. The cabbie for some reason wants Ahmad’s phone number and he then gives him a missed call. He asks him to call if we ever... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt spring II

Ahmad had the 2 big ones that are very heavy. I am having so much trouble that we trade his suitcase for my new suitcase on spinners. I love that suitcase! It is so much easier to maneuver than the other one. He leaves to find a person with a cart. They pile all the suitcases on it and he takes on... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt spring I

His mom gives me a robe. It is burnt tan color. Very pretty with embroidery along the lapel. She puts it on me and ties the robe closed to make sure it fits. I am about 4 to 5 inches taller than her. She tries to give me a loofah but Ahmad is in the shower and I am not sure what she is saying. She... Sign in to see full entry.
