my favorite things

Oprah does it....Or she use to, I haven't seen an Oprah show in 2 years. I've been really negative about Cairo lately, but there are so many things that I love about living here.

Obviously, it's pretty cool when go out to the pyramids for the day... but it's always a big reminder when you catch a glimpse of them from a distance. On a clear day, I can look over my shoulder when running on the treadmill at the gym and see them in the distance. That's when I realize how spectacular they really are.


This card says:

"Jast for your love

You are laugh make me fly

You are voice takes me high

And saying good bye make

me wont 2 die

you know why

because you are asweet

romantic angel from the sky"

I love how random everything is. I love that everyone walks around in the most ridiculous clothes from the 80s and broken English that you hear being yelled at you. IOWA?!? STRAWBERRIES?? Very very good. Sometimes you just have to laugh aloud at it all. Also, I've recently decided to carry my recess whistle, as John so lovingly refers to my "rape whistle" and blow it loudly at any man/boy who approaches me with any remarks on my beautiful eyes or unwanted touching. Love it.

This website might be completely to blame for gaining 15lbs since moving here. But it sure does make it convienent to get the best food from the best restaurants delivered to my door for 20cents delivery charge. I am so lucky to have such great friends who love to travel and are very adventurous and always up for a good time.

I love going on Felucca rides on the Nile. I am only a 5 minute walk from the Nile this year so it's great to walk over through the madness to escape all the noise and relax on a sail boat ride with some wine and hummus as the sun sets. This is a super old pic of a felucca ride, but I always forget to take pics when we do this.
Ok, this will have the be the first post of my favorite things. It's just taking too long to find pics and put them up- I'll finish this later....
