Small Update

Beit Al Suhaymi
Detail, Underside of Gazebo

Finals are almost over- The Ford Foundation, Amaan, and Orphan Caregivers' and their Training Program had mostly taken over my life for a short period of time.
After that, all I did was study mosques.
Ben is here. We've been hitting up some sights in Cairo together- pictures shall follow soon, however...
Blogging will be taking a break- the internet in my apartment has been disconnected due to a failure on our part to pay our bills.
We will be leaving shortly to eat delicious seafood in Alexandria (tomorrow), soak up some rays at the Red Sea (Dahab) climb Gabal Moussa (aka Mt Sinai) and perhaps venture into the carved rock formations of Colored Canyon near Nuweiba.
I arrive in Pakistan on the 8th of June.
Blogging will be interspersed until then, and will be mostly photographs and links.

Food for thought:
Did you know that women in Russia are simply not allowed to work the St. Petersburg underground Metro system on the grounds that the equipment is too heavy for them?
Apparently one uppity woman doesn't think that's okay.
