So I haven’t left the house in two days so I don’t have anything that exciting to share, but I am feeling better. Just really tired still. I want to post a video of something special that we got in the mail today, but our internet is slow at the moment so I have to wait until it speeds up so I can upload to youtube and then link to it.
My brain isn’t feeling very clever or creative, so I’m just going to post a few pictures that I’ve taken over the past few weeks that haven’t fit into any of my other posts.
When we take the boys to Tae Kwon Do there is a coffeshop downstairs where we hang out and have a latte. When I dressed Camille that day I realized it looked like I poured a bottle of Pepto all over her, but went with it anyway. She is pinked out.
Coming home from the pyramids — I can’t figure out why all these coils of wire/extension cords are hanging from the trees.
Dude delivering propane tanks. We also saw a kid of about 10 riding a donkey with 2 propane tanks strapped on like saddlebags, but I wasn’t quick enough with my camera.
I don’t know what veggie that is, but she’s got a lot of greenery on her head. We passed lots of farms in our drive along the Nile. It made me want to grow things in my garden.
This sight did not make me want to work in the garden — it did make me want to recycle though. Sometime we’re going to go to this place called Trash City where all the trash eventually goes. They sort through it and reclaim things and repurpose them and supposedly 85% of the trash is “rescued” which is better stats then in the US. I’m waiting to see it with my own eyes.
I love that the kid is cruising around on a donkey, but what I really wanted to show you was the kid riding a donkey and texting. Again, too slow on the trigger.
I really hope that is just a shelter/shade for people working in the fields, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find that people live there.
OK, internet is still too slow for my video, but check back later to see it. I’m going to go have dinner now. Josh made Mac and Cheese (yes, from the blue box) and cause that wasn’t gourmet enough, he added bacon. I think I feel my arteries cramping up just thinking about it.
And now for the video: our friend Pam sent us this awesome camel named Mustafa that sings, “Ice, Ice, Baby.” Camille isn’t sure if she likes it or is scared of it.
I don’t know where she found it. She heard we were living on Mustafa Kamel street and said, “I have something to send you. Just wait.” It was worth the wait!
