Classic Cairo Moments!

A friend passed on these hilarious Cairo scenes and I thought I would share them. This is why many of us now travel with a camera in hand to verify our stories that we share so often. This is the real Cairo!

Great architectural works

Good News!

With no hassles or questions asked I was able to get a renewal of my visa for another year! Yeah God!!! So thanks for the many prayers.
Christmas break has ended and now it is back to the routine...not that I am complaining don't get me wrong. Actually the break wasn't much of a break so getting back to work was not all that hard. Spent most of the break apartment hunting again and finally I have signed a contract and paid a deposit so enshallah nothing should stand in the way. It is a rather small place but we don't need much, the real blessing is the yard. If you have never been here then that won't mean a great deal to you but for any former Maadities you know grass is a precious commodity in this town and one has to pay handsomly to have a little plot to call your own. I really lucked out in finding a place in my price and grass to boot. My hope is that this will be home for a long time. I am looking to make repairs and create a warm home and raise Caleb there. So hopefully this will be the case. I will get pixs of teh place soon.
I had a potrait done of Caleb but not sure which is the best so I am posting the final choices and you can vote.

It is so cold in these big ole villas that we have had to resort to creating our own fireplaces! This is in the foyer of my neighbors place.
Talk about trying to fill some big shoes!

Welcome to 2007!

Caleb and I rang in the New Year and partied on until 2 a.m.(this kid is soooo Egyptian!) We party hopped a bit and ended up at the Stringfield's to celebrate with them and SkipBo and family. I had a chance to catch up with some of the college kids who were back in town and that was fun as always. Caleb and I spent the night at SkipBo's and then got up and went apartment hunting...yes I know I reported that I had a place...yes I know that I have reported that on a number of ocassions, but things keep falling thru, so I am not going to say anymore until I actually sign a contract.

If you read this before tommorrow (Tuesday) I would appreciate your prayers as I have to go and renew my visa in the a.m. Now it really should be no problem as many folks live here 15 -20 years on tourist visas but it is happened that people have been refused a renewal. That could be a very serious problem for me so even though it is unlikely it still eats at me, so I would greatly appreciate your prayers that all would go smooth and easy and that I could relax in faith.
