Tragic News from Cairo

[Nothing1234 2]

It's not stopping me from going.

Of course I worry as a mother Will you be right in Cairo, Olivia?

We can't worry about things that haven't happened yet. If it is my time to go it is my time. I will be cautious and Waleed would take good care of me I am sure.

I'm sure you will be fine Olivia and in good loving arms. It's sad such a tragedy has happened but as you said you can't stop from moving ahead with your life with your hubby, where ever your paths may lead.

I typically never follow tours or go to high traffic tourist areas at peak times. Besides, I don't like crowds when I'm trying to shop till I drop (get OUTTA MY WAY!! LOL) If I want to travel somewhere I go w/ natives of the area that know their way around. Other then that keeping your eyes open and being aware...not much more we can do.

I can't wait till you are there...need TONS of pics!!! You need to start a blog!

Great idea You definitely want to document this time ! I like Wordpress Blogs, easy to set up and navigate. Girl, I admire your spirit of adventure and dedication to your husband I am excited for you and can't wait to read about your life in Egypt !!

This made me soooo sad too!! I was in the market in Cairo at the beginning of February and have pictures of my husband and myself sitting on that wall. I will never understand why people think things like bombing innocents can ever produce change in the world. I still love Egypt and I know I will be going back some day. But, this sure does make you want to steer clear of tourist attractions.

I suppose not, but certainly I didn't mean anything by that..... I meant we had a GREAT time. and now that you pointed that out, it makes me feel rather bad!

ZOMG! That would be so funny if I actually found one!

You know I would have to get a picture of you shaking your shimmy in one!

My husband and I was at the bazaar on Friday. We sat at the cafe where the bomb went off. I left Egypt on Monday, the airport was very busy. I pray this doesnt hurt Egypt too bad.

[Ihavequestions 419]

Okay, the word around today is that it wasn't a bomb at all but an electrical blast.

I can't be sure if that's just what the Egyptian government is telling Egyptians or if there's another story we aren't hearing.

Does anyone know?

Gosh, we were just there a few weeks ago. It's my favorite place to be in all of Egypt. Old Cairo and the bazar ARE Egypt.

Yes you should! My BF is going to give me money to bring her back some material. She doesn't care what she just wants me to find a fabric shop there and bring her back some material. Such a funny request but it's ok if she's going to give the money for it.

I'll think about that blog but for now my FB is my blog.

FB is great for networking w/family and friends, and so fun. A blog dedicated specifically to this adventure you are embarking on has endless potential for exposure ! People have started blogs that developed a following and were purchased to be published as a book. I think there would be so much interest on the life of an American filmmaker living in Egypt with her husband
