What I remember and miss most…
If you’d like to see my photo journal from Cairo, take a look at the companion post here.
~ Every other phrase ….Walahi
~ Long afternoon naps
~ Om Kalsoum drifting from old sound systems in shops
~ Guaranteed sunshine and blue skies every day
~ Bamboo’s constant chatter and often keen insight on everything relating to bellydancing
~Music to die for
~Shopping for EVERYTHING imaginable with Leena
~ NOT the mosquitioes and NOT the flies
~ Fresh lime juice at 1:00am in the morning
~ Haggling for good cab fare
~ Haggling period
~ Colorful scarves and made up faces 
~ Curious glances and genuine smiles
~ Dusty dry streets
~ Ya Bint al Sultan ringing in my ears for days
~ Thinking twinkies and hoho’s in Egypt tastes better
~ The best dum dum dum dum tek ever!
~Thinking I know they see me whenever crossing the street..but just in case..
~ Tradition mingled with modesty
~ Beautiful, intricate hanging lanterns and…wishing I could take them all home with me
~ Sugarcane juice
~ Dark staircases and entrances in the day..and wondering where they led
~ Halas
Again, please check out the rest of the photos here.
