Just thought I would post a new blog before I head off to Cairo for a mini-vacation. Some of you probably thought my time so far sitting on the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea has been one big long vacation.....wrong. I will be in Cairo for four days. This is Eid al Afar...Festival of Sacrifice. So the job site is going to be shutdown for four days. Most of the businesses will be closed for the week too. So I am off to Cairo to check out the sights. I got lucky enough to get a hotel within walking distance of the Great Pyramids. I plan to take lots of pictures to share with you later in the week.
I am not sure what sort of internet connection I will have at the hotel, so bear with me for the next blog posting.
On another note.....two interesting sights this morning. First I noticed that my neighbor across the street was out cleaning the red dust off his front porch. He is from Ghana. There must be a strange fashion sense in Ghana, because he had on flip flops, white/grey/red plaid shorts and a bright yellow and blue wide striped shirt. Either he was wanting to make a fashion statement or all of his other clothes are in the wash. I will try to take notice in the future and see if he is trying to set a new trend for Libya.
The other interesting sight this morning was a worm snake hiding under my desk. At first I thought it was a little worm (since we have had all this rain lately), but when I put my foot near it, the little guy slithered across the room like a side-winder snake would. Very interesting creature. I quickly jumped on the internet to see if worm snakes are poisonous or not.......whew....they are not.
I will keep you posted if I see any scorpions on the job site. Until the next time, I will blog from Cairo.
