I had my room cleaned today…

And it is all nice and clean now.

That’s it.  Here’s a picture.

I’ll post my schedule sometime soon =)   Off to the book fair!



Ah Friday, Weekend

26 01 2007

So as most of you probably know by now, Friday is the beginning of the Egyptian weekend (it’s also their holy day). So besides spending some much needed time with God and His word, I’ve been hanging around with Chris translating Arabic and messing around with pictures.

Here is the Nile النيل

Update:

24 01 2007

I’m alive and well.  There is a spirit within me.  I’m feeling better (although still sniffly and congested) and I’d like to attribute it all to my careful avoidance of dust, but it is probably more to do with God and time elasping than anything I did.

I must have looked remarkably American today.  I kept getting haggled by Egyptians trying to sell me stuff.  Soon I will be able to tell them more than “no thanks” “go away” and “I don’t want any”.  Until then they will rue the day!

There will a lot of updates coming soon.  Until then, be happy with the weather and time (in Cairo & Chicago!) on the sidebar, and this picture of me and Chris, quite possibly one of the 5 coolest guys I’ve ever met.
