And the adventure begin

So my flight to Cairo was nearly empty. I had an window seat and the emergancy exit row to myself. It was really nice after running around Geneva. I would love to spend some proper time there...it oddly reminded me of Portland.

Cairo has not changed too much. But more women are wearing head scarves and even more in niqabs. I really would to ask why but that can wait.  My friend Yara did pick me up at the airport with some of her other friends. I should be able to move into my apartment on Sunday.  I am getting acustom to playing frogger.  Yes, crossing the street here is that bad.

On my way to Geneva

Somewhere over the Atlantic

If you had asked me last week if I was actually doing this I would say the chances were not good.  But I am. I still am filled with trepidation but this should be good.  I really needed to get out of NYC. Although my send offs did show me how many friends I have. Who knows when I will be back or I should really say if. I do need to thank all who showed up.  I also really owe Joe, for driving me to the airport and Lexie for housing me.

The sun rises over the atlantic with a burning red glow. I know it is becuase of the ash but it oddly reminds me of what I am running from. Tomorrow will be a new day.

(first travel tip - if there is a meal on your flight get the vegan/Hindu meal as you will get served first and it tends to be rather healthy and not to mention edible....if you are flying out of the US.)

I made it to Cairo

I will have a longer post to follow...

Wow...

I am so nervous...I still don't have a place to live but I have a friend who is picking me up at the airport.

One week and a few hours until I touch down...
