A story of a family from Michigan, USA who traveled to Egypt for work.....served, laughed, loved....thrived thru the Egyptian Revolution....and then returned to Michigan after the job ended abruptly due to economic conditions.

Mysteries Solved Today....

1. Garbage
There is a small stairwell that goes to every floor between apartments to gather the garbag from the small balcony in that "courtyard" type area you saw i pics! Oh..that explains it! And if I put it out tonight, it'll go out at 9 pm! :-) I like how clean that is!!!

2. We don't have a vehicle
When we talked about going somewhere tomorrow, Jasmine was truly obnoxiously (tho cute) when she declared "WHAT? WE HAVE TO WALK? WHY CAN'T MRS. LEWIS' DADDY TAKE US IN OUR TRUCK?"
Well...we don't have a truck.

WHAT? WHERE IS IT?

In America, at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Oh.

And, Mr. Wyel- is not Mrs. Lewis' daddy nor her husband, he is her 'driver' like daddy flies airplanes, he drives cars.

"Hmm...well that's just dumb, do you expect me to walk EVERY time we go somewhere?"

No, that's why I have a stroller!

lolol

3. Why is there a cubby by the front door at our flat inside?

Because when a dumb American in her shorts and tank answers the door, she NEEDS to have something available to throw on in a nano-second.

Yep....almost made THAT cultural oopsie today!

4. Why are all flats made with tile walls and floors?

So that little boys who get too rowdy will feel their pain and stop...and so that mommy's can spray bathrooms with bleach then spray down

5. why doesn't skype work?
because Rob changed a setting AND DIDN'T TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

**just some funny thoughts that came to mind tonight**

Sometimes the information gets through . . . and sometimes not so much (both for girlie and hubby). Keep up the great communication (especially the pics), between each other and to us! We'll be at church tomorrow, looking at your empty spot . . . and praying for you all.
