NEW BLOG!

Now that we've left Egypt, I feel a need to record what we did there so when we look back on our time we'll remember it wasn't all homeschool and sleeping. I'll continue to post to this blog until I catch up to the time we left Cairo in June 2010. Our new blog will pick up from that time forward.

We'll be back

Just a quick post. I wanted to do a Jordan wrap-up post but my computer crashed with my most recent pics. In the move I couldn't find the camera cord to download the pics onto the computer I'm using now. (My computer had a place for the SD card but this computer doesn't.) Then when we arrived to our home in Cairo we didn't have internet and when we did get it, it was S.L.O.W. when it worked at all. Plus we have to of course unpack and take some time to cool ourselves off at the pool in this outrageous heat! I've found the cord and we have internet but only on the very top floor of the house. And now we leave in an hour for our 22 hour journey back to the States. 24 if you count the time at the Cairo airport waiting for our first leg. Don't know how much time I'll have to blog while we're visiting friends and family but will try to catch up when we return mid-August. Hopefully I'll have a fully functioning computer as well by then. I already have a couple of Cairo stories--swimming pool rules, branch members, Egyptian drivers/traffic, construction workers sleeping under the stars . . . Even after 2 years we're still having new experiences here.

I think it's funny that the pool in Maadi doesn't allow you to wear shorts or shirts over your swimming suit. I'm excited to hear that Cairo story. Are you guys living in Maadi?

We just had a 12 hour travel experience. I can't even imagine 24 hours from start to finish! Can't wait to see you - your kids are growing up and wow is Clara turning into a beauty or what!

Sounds like your move has been extremely stressful. I hope your visit to the states was a nice break from it all and that things are safe and sound and mellowed when you get back. See your family reunion pics was fun. Hang in there. You guys are troopers. My brother Kris is abroad right now too and houses and moving issues seem to be a part of the foreign experience. It makes you grateful for the USA, despite the problems. :-)
