I can't believe I live here!

Things I love about living in Cairo:

1.  Waking up to sunshine every day.
2.  Delicious food super cheap (hello, koshary and   falafel sandwiches for under a buck!).
3.  Glimpsing the pyramids at random times.
4.  Felucca rides at sunset.
5.  Walking to the Nile from my apartment.
6.  Making friends of all ages from all over the world.
7.  Realizing every day that students everywhere just want love and acceptance and to learn.
8.  Sitting on my balcony and looking       

at the city around me.
9.  Planning trips to the pyramids, desert hiking,
Nile cruises, and the Red Sea.
10.  Seeing the friendly faces of the Egyptian people daily.


Things I miss from home:

1.  My family and friends.  So much!
2.  My teddy bear, Gil.
3.  Blue Powerade Zero.
4.  Driving whenever and wherever I like.
5.  Ragtag.
6.  Hallmark cards.
7.  SoCo (I have yet to find a dance club).
8.  French wine (they only have Egyptian wine).
9.  Television (especially sports).
10. Bacon.
