This is the second set of extracts from the diaries I kept while living overseas from 1992-1995. This set picks up in Cairo on New Year's Day 1993. We had a very quiet day just lazing around the house.
School starts again tomorrow.
On the 12th the three of us plus Sarah and Mohamed went out to dinner at El Shabrawi and then Mohamed took us to a cafe fairly close to the airport called Sharyha. The spelling was generally okay, but the translations added a whole new dimension of entertainment. She will arrive about 4 weeks after we return from our holiday to Eastern Europe. We've booked a flight to Budapest and now have to arrange visas, etc etc. One Thursday night we visited the El Hussein mosque and the Khan El Khalili with Sarah, Helen and Sa'ad.
