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

Cairo Streets~ 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 Jaida with Water Pot

~ 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

Jaida Performing in Cairo

~ 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.
