Vacation

I escaped the chaos that is Cairo for a few days during the Egyptian school's February vacation.
In this past week:
I've been to the top of the world and the bottom of the sea.

I stayed in a 5 star hotel and a no star hotel.

(I'm curious which one you think I enjoyed more. How well do you think you really now me?)

I had sand in my eyes and ants in my soup.

And joy in my heart.

I carried more than 50 pounds of scuba diving equipment on my back.

And was not burdened by any load.

I lounged for hours with fellow travelers from around the world in Bedouin-style restaurants.

Stray cats vied for a spot in my lap and a share of my meals.

I lost my dinner to the cats - only once.

And we all purred with contentment.

It was a good and much needed vacation.

In the coming days I'll add more details and pictures of the journey.

Cheers!
