The Egypt Toyota dealership

All Saint's Cathedral during a sandstorm. The sky was honestly this orange.

It was so dusty, buildings were barely visible in the not-too-distant distance.

Here's the same street on a different day. (Note the car about to back over me)

We attended the ordaination service of Emmanuel, a Sudanese man who is a graduate of Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo (ETSC).

There was great music sung by Sudanese refugees during the service.

After the ordaination service we heard Elias Chacour speak about the Israeli/Palestine conflict. He is the Melkite Catholic arch bishop of Galilee.

Teri lookin' cute.

A store called "Kids Castle" near the Synod of the Nile. Egyptians love Pooh and Tweety.

This is the main justice building of Egypt. It is the equivalent to our Supreme Court building. Two days after I took this picture there were massive demonstrations just outside this building because some judges who had called for reform had been arrested. It was the day of their trial.

A billboard on Ramses Street advertises a movie.

The familiar sign that lets me know a Metro station is nearby.

A sign points the way home to Ghamra.

The students from the secretarial school clog the walkways outside Dawson Hall, where I live. I have written about my experiences walking through this crowd before. In my head I call it "The Gauntlet."

A closeup of the secretarial students. Some are Christian, some are Muslim. Usually the Christians are easy to pick out because they don't wear head scarves.

Teri and Sarah joined the Cairo Choral Society. They just had their big performance at the American University in Cairo (AUC).

Ahhh.... singing.

The AUC.

KFC near the AUC. In Arabic it reads "Dgag Kntakee."

Political posters from a recent election.

All Saints Cathedral on a clear day.

Heh.

These little kids are running like crazy because a big taxi is about to run them over. In Arabic it reads "Madrassa"... school.

All Saints at night. It really is some unusual architecture, huh?

What I find so amusing about sidewalks in Cairo is the trees planted in the middle of them (or vendors for that matter) taking up so much room it's actually easier to walk in the street.

Stare into my eyes. Wooo woo woo woo woo.

Fun with mirrors.

A cat in our stairwell.

Stephen and Jay playing a duet at Jay's birthday party.

Me and Teri at Jay's party.

There were people from all different cultures at Jay's party. People from France, Canada, America, Ethiopia, and Cameroon to name a few.

A sign at a bus stop with bus numbers.

A big 'ole Tide billboard.

The three Giza pyramids from a distance.
