2007 has passed. What a year. I slaved over a senior thesis, graduated from college, said goodbye to Ann Arbor, and entered Cairo. I received a Fulbright grant, but I lost my uncle Rupert. In all it was a year. The good and bad, with the former hopefully outweighing the latter, it was my 23rd year and I am happy for it.
I rang in the new year with my sisters. It has been so much fun having them here in Cairo with me, since they have been around I have even forgotten that they normally don't call the city home. Of course it has been strange playing tour guide, translator, and team leader, but as long as I remember to wear these new hats proudly, it has been a blast. We went west to the White Desert, north to Alexandria, and back south to Giza, taking awesome photos along the way which of course shall be posted ASAP. And while I am not used to playing tourist here in Egypt, it has been fun seeing things, like err the Sphinx, that I really have no excuse for not yet having seen. he he.
For New Years, my friend Liz came over with her newly engaged fiancee, Heath. Over wine and pizza, we played games until the new year came along. The toast was eventful, we broke a glass, which I like to think is good luck, right? Either way, it was really fun, and while we didn't pay the 500 pound package for a trendy Egyptian night on the town, I think we got our own money's worth. So Happy New Year to everyone, I know I am a bit early for you guys, but just thought I would let you know that on the other side, things are a-okay.
