I thought it was time for another wrap-up of life in Egypt. We have a pretty busy season of travel coming up (thanks, Egypt, for all of your extended breaks!) – so here’s an assortment of goings-on around the ‘hood. In no particular order (other than the numbered list you will see below), I present: […]

After our 3-week winter break in Europe, we settled right back into life in Egypt. The mid-day call to prayer is always interesting to see, and this is the view from Blakely’s balcony the day after we got back. Kennedie pointed out that she could see one of our bowabs, (Smiles Bowab, to be specific)
The last leg of our Winter Break vacay brought us north from Rome to Florence… my old stomping grounds! (In the loosest sense of the word, as I haven’t been back in SIXTEEN years). Although it was a bummer to say goodbye to our family in Rome, it was exciting to be back in a

After our wonderful getaway to Dublin, we flew across Europe to Rome! I had not been back to Italy since 2007 and I. COULD. NOT. CONTAIN. MYSELF. It was also the place where we would meet up with April, so it felt like many fun things were in store! Our Airbnb was perfect for our

Since we had 3 weeks off for Winter Break, we decided to make the most of it and visit Europe! Part 1 of our travels took us to Dublin to meet up with Rob, Kathy, and Jake. We haven’t seen Kyle’s side of the fam since summer, so we were pretty pumped. Flights out of

After Petey left we decided to focus on the next most exciting thing… Christmas! Since we didn’t have a ton of extra room on our trip over here, we weren’t able to bring our box of Christmas supplies. This was a bit of a bummer but we figured we’d be traveling in Europe over the
Guys, (as you know) Petey came to visit! Since his 2-week trip to the desert included our Thanksgiving weekend, we took him to his old stomping grounds… Germany! Or, actually, Bavaria. Munich, to be exact. According to our snooty tour guide, people in Munich never say they live in Germany, they live in Bavaria. Sounds
We’ve stayed close to home the last couple of weeks and enjoyed our time in Maadi. Fall definitely looks different here than it does in the PNW… fall colors don’t really exist, pumpkin spice is not a thing, and I have yet to bust out any type of boot (will I ever?). Here’s a quick
When my mom decided to visit us, she made it abundantly clear that she wanted to see Luxor. Twist my arm! I quickly made arrangements and booked lodging and flights. Kyle wasn’t planning on joining us, as he was supposed to chaperone a student trip to Jordan. Due to the unrest in Israel and Gaza,
My mom is in town! It’s all very exciting. She arrived at 1:30am on a SCHOOL NIGHT. In true Grandma Connie fashion, the kids woke up to Christmas presents stacked neatly under our houseplant. First stop, the Pyramids of Giza. This is my second time seeing them and I can honestly say that I see
