back in Cairo Everyone has been asking me if things feel or look any different here in Cairo after the revolution. When I left, there were tanks in my neighborhood, a curfew, lots of gunfire, there was no internet, and Mubarak was still president. Now, Mubarak is gone, the police are back on the streets, the tanks have rolled out,...

from ancient to medieval in Cairo On Tuesday we started our day with a cab ride to Tahrir to see the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. We spent a few hours enjoying the Tutahnkamun exhibit, Akhenaten collection, and other ancient art and artifacts of Egypt. We then took a taxi to the Citadel. The views of the city were stunning. We...

weddles in luxor This past week has been a whirlwind! After seeing some sights around Cairo with Ryan, my parents arrived and we left for Luxor. We arrived in Luxor around midday and decided to check out Luxor Temple in the afternoon sunlight. It was incredible. The city of Luxor creeps right up to the edges of these ancient sites,...

Mount Sinai Last weekend we went on a faculty trip to Mount Sinai. After a 9 hour bus ride through barren, empty, desert, along the eastern coast of Egypt and across the Sinai Peninsula, we made it to Dahab where the best thing about our hotel was the coral reef meters from our room. Another 2 hour bus ride through a forbidding...

Unfinished Obelisk Once we got to Aswan and after a crazy taxi experience that entailed some serious driver rivalry, keys stolen from the ignition, a chase involving a tire iron, and a group of tourists, ahem, us, quietly unloading our luggage and finding another cab...

New York Lottery Sweet Million \”Sleepy Time\” on YouTube

This New York Lottery commercial has been stealing my attention periodically over the last two days. I wish I could forget it existed, but I can’t, and I keep watching it over and over.

I can’t handle it. It is ridiculously cute.

Here is my question. Is it real? And is there a career path out there that leads one to dressing pigs in pajamas and teaching them how to hoist their potbellies up onto a bunkbed? Incredible.

It’s probably best for all of us that there are no more pigs in Egypt.

P.S. While I was doing a little internet research on “can pigs wear pajamas” which eventually got diluted to googling “tiny pigs,” I found this little gem. Brace yourself. It is CRAZY, and I laughed till I hurt.
