zamalek, chicken and a protest



Here is a map from our building to Zamalek. Sequoia is at the very tip of the little island.


We have started to count down the days until Brianna's arrival for Christmas. We are currently sitting at 17 .... so exciting!  (This photo was taken a few days ago. We really are updating it daily.)

Some puppies taking a nap along the side of the road.



This is the package on a frozen chicken we bought. LOL
You may have heard that last night - November 27th - there was a large gathering in Tahrir square. The school closed at 1:00. All the kids and teachers were home safe and sound. Actually, Becca went to a friends house for the afternoon and we went out for dinner with our friend Jason for his birthday. We watched tens of thousands of people pack the square on TV. When I saw a guy walking through the crowd selling bags of cotton candy I hoped that was a sign that everything was remaining peaceful. Becca was hoping for a day off school but that didn't happen. Everything was quiet. There was hardly a word mentioned about it on the news this morning. So ... everything carried on today as usual.

Next update ... Ain Sukhna .....
