Visiting London
Cairo, Egypt
This weekend, I was fortunate to escape the heat of Cairo for a few days and traveled to London. I spent the weekend with my friend Sebastian and was able to meet up with my cousin Peter who has been working in London for the past few years. It was a really great weekend and I'll have my pictures posted within the next few days (we're still stealing internet from a neighbor...) Riding on London's clean and fully functioning subway system and experiencing respect for traffic laws (i.e. stopping for pedestrians) really made me miss home.
However, I am excited to be back in Cairo. Although my roommates disagree, I contend that the weather is starting to cool down; perhaps I have developed a skill for being able to tell the difference between 96 and 95 degrees. I am also getting into a schedule of balancing my language classes and work at STC, which should keep me quite busy during the week. Tomorrow is the first day of full classes, which should be a rude awakening of how little I've used my Arabic since I graduated!
