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... (yeah, I know, OH EGYPT!) Anyhow once we got to Aswan, we decided...

Using Brandon’s AMAZING ciabatta, we made commuter sandwiches for breakfast today. I knew it was going to be a day of eating without abandon. See that spicy mayo? Secret ingredient… onion bowder. Not to be confused with onion powder. There is no “p” sound in Arabic, folks.

Delicious!

And what’s a commuter sandwich? Only the best thing EVER made with eggs and mayonnaise EVER. If you are ever in Phoenix (or apparently now in Santa Monica too) you have to go to La Grande Orange and eat an avocado commuter for me. Oh man. They are so good. They are really made with english muffins, but since we had this fresh, yummy, chewy ciabatta on hand, it just made sense to go with it. All ours were missing was the avocado. We can’t get really good avocados here. At least not right now. It’s ok. Don’t feel too bad for me. This sandwich was still amazing!
