Not the worlds most exciting day, church, shop for food, lunch, read book, eat tea, blog, and there you have it! A President has fallen, there is great jubilation on the streets and we didn’t do anything.
The best TV images of today were the ones of the protestors cleaning up after themselves. Egyptians are wonderful people.
The tanks were still at the Grand Mall as we went past on the way to the cash machine, there were families having their picture taken next to and on it, so Maddison is going for a little walk tomorrow! We managed to get 1000LE out of the machine so we can afford to recharge (top up) the phone and internet access.
We have problems using Skype here. Sometimes there is a connection and sometimes there isn’t, so today I used a UK IP address and Geoff’s mum managed to get through and chat for about 20 minutes without any issues. This supports our theory that Vodafone or somebody blocks Egyptian IP addresses.
Because many people have go back to work tomorrow prayers have been moved to 5pm. . . . . I wonder if they will continue after the ‘crisis’ ends?
Photos tomorrow maybe . . . . . . . . ?
All very exciting - you've lived through, and seen up-close, one of Egypt's important historical events. Praise God that it was fairly peaceful!
