Home Sweet Home

We arrived back in Cairo yesterday after spending a week in Aswan and Luxor. It was intereseting to see the temples and hieroglyphics and the tremendous amount of history present in these places, but returning to Cairo is a bit like coming home. We've spent only a couple of weeks here, but already the sights and sounds feel familiar, and the routines have somewhat settled in. Getting off of the train yesterday felt amazing. It was blistering hot down south and I never thought that 90 degree weather could feel so refreshing. Alas, we leave for India next week and the journey begins anew. They not only have heat but humidity too. Yay!! I can't believe the places we are seeing and experiencing. In a way it feels natural, in another it feels surreal and just uh-duh. I do miss fall and my fellow Oles. I love you too, my wonderful and fabulous family. Ciao for now!
