Robin and Grandma are visiting us in Cairo! A trip to the pyramids is on the agenda for tomorrow, but here are a few photos from the past two days:
Here’s Robin, Betty, and Brandon at a fruit stand in Maadi. We picked up some grapefruits, local bananas, and melons before heading out to dinner.
This afternoon we did a little shopping around the neighborhood and then went to Al-Azhar Park to see the Cairo skyline at sunset. The sun almost beat us down. Here is a cow on the freeway. Just in case you needed to see that.
The park was really beautiful at dusk. It is still one of my favorite places in Cairo. Brandon got the tickets.
Not sure if he was in the right line.
The views were incredible! The next few are a little blurry because we were running out of daylight. Next time, I’ll have to take the tripod.
Everyone was taking photos!
Hi!
I had a really hard time getting clear shots in the dark. The above photo was an attempt at photographing the majestic Citadel. See it? The little cluster of glowing lines and dots. Good work, self. Here is my eighty-millionth try:
Also blurry. But I tried.
Dinner was wonderful and the park was really nice, especially with that full moon.
I am looking forward to visiting the pyramids tomorrow and seeing some camels! Expect more photos again soon!
Yeah, Robin & Grandma made it!
Sounds like you and Brandon are being great tour guides…
you should do that as a side business. :)
I like the fruit stand…interesting how they arrange the fruit.
The pictures at dusk are beautiful with all the lights glowing.
Regan & I are going to see the play “Annie” tonight.
Looks like so much fun! We can’t wait to visit you and Brandon! Love you!
