In Cairo

(from an email to Emma and Michael)

It's good to be here.... adjusting to a totally new environment, but we're liking it.

Last night we met one of my contacts... we went to this very "hip" place by the Nile river, under this huge sort-of Bedouin tent, wind blowing through, lights of Cairo around us, near full moon rising, lots of people smoking "hubble & bubble" pipes.... and some of the best food we've had in weeks.

Salim is coming back today, which is like Sunday here, and we're going into old Cairo with him to look around. Tomorrow we're meeting more people, Sunday probably to see the Pyramids of Giza, and then out to Sekem on Monday, probably Tuesday as well.

There'll be more meetings, including giving a talk to senior school students, and later on Sekem staff, on Monday.
