It happened this January

The first exciting thing was Geoff got a job! He now has a contract starting in September with MESC (Modern English School Cairo) and, as a member of staff didn’t come back after Christmas he is there already! He is teaching science and psychology  in the American section, which makes it a bit more of a challenge for him! The not so exciting side to this is I now have to help with the house work again, cooking, washing, ironing . . . . . it never seems to end.

The other interesting thing was a thunderstorm with real rain and thunder! It was at this point we realised we might needs coats!

Alison and Ryan Visit Cairo

 

Christmas isn’t a big thing over here, only 10% of the population celebrate on January 7th so we had a quiet time and a roast beef lunch, we saved the turkey for Alison and Ryan’s visit.

They turned up in the early hours at terminal 1 in Cairo airport, but we had gone to terminal 3 as that’s where we came into the country. Luckily we had enough spare time to chase round and find the right place before they made it through the gate! Then back to the apartment to sleep.

Where do you take people in Cairo on New Years Eve? McDonalds of course!

We also went to the pyramids, Coptic Cairo, across to the mall, . . Alison and Ryan also went to City Stars to see ‘Due Date’ and wander round the shops as well as a Nile dinner cruise with belly dancing.

In between all that they popped across to the Red Sea and stayed there with Geoff and Maddy for 3 days.

Anyway some pictures . . . .
