a quiet afternoon

Last month, over 370 people viewed my blog. COOL!

Okay, now that i have that out of my system, i tried getting luther to make another post but he is reluctant because his last post was deemed 'boring' by many friends and relatives. So, i'm hoping after his mid-terms are done (this week) he will garner enough courage to attempt another posting about life at AUC (and his archeological DIG- i am not disclosing anything you have to ask him about it!!!) 

We have gone from january to march without a school holiday or long weekend and i am ready for a break.  So in between that time, it has been pretty chill on rd. 221 with luther and i taking it easy.  Alot of exploring cairo in mini-trips (museum for the afternoon, shopping, "normal day-to-day stuff") and it has been really nice. :)

Tahrir Square on 'protest friday'  pre-protest


Oh- Luther has just asked me to write that he hates studying the 'armana period'- (i am fully aware of this as he has not stopped complaining about it all weekend.)  This is good because he is looking for things to distract him.(Good time to ask him to do chores and fix my computer)

He had attended an amazing conference on bio-archeology 2 weeks ago and met some cool international friends who share common interest in picking apart the decomposed-yet-well-preserved VIPS of history.

the name-tag says 'LUTHER:AUC'

ONE of the food tables at conference
Luther and i went to citystars last week (giant mall in egypt) and bought our weight in clothes at H&M.  Then we paid for VIP seats to see 'Oz the great and powerful'.  It was pretty good, go see it in 3D, its pretty awesome.  Afterward we went to a restaurant called 'planet africa'. The best way to describe it is 'Rainforest cafe'. Mechanical animals, jungle noises, large pond with fake crocodile in front, saltwater aquariums...you get the idea.  Good food, definitely checking that place out again.

Indulging- 'Luther-style'
