goodbyes

Yesterday we had a goodbye party for a friend who is leaving for Bahrain. Although I was kind of bitter for awhile about somethings that had happened here in Egypt, I really enjoyed coming here and would not have traded this opportunity for anything else. I was riding in a cab and looking out at everything going on in the streets and felt oddly at peace for some reason. Maybe I just feel this way because last night I booked my ticket to Turkey and leave in two weeks. Hopefully this last two weeks will wrap up everything that has happened in Egypt. I am also now doing a blog in Arabic. If you know Arabic you should check it out.
