A Sunny Sunday Stroll

I'm feeling really overwhelmed by the 1,000+ pictures that we took in Cairo so I'm blogging about something else instead. Hey, it's better than nothing, right?

A few weeks ago, we decided to take a stroll through our neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon. We did this for 2 reasons. 1) I have a REALLY hard time not taking naps on Sunday so we thought some fresh air might do the trick. 2) Due to the time difference between us and our families, we have several hours to kill before we can Skype each week.

Here's Brent on our street, our house is a few doors behind us.

We live about 5 minutes from the river and found a nice walking path. The sky was gorgeous and the weather was perfect.

Some various scenery around the neighborhood.

We also ventured a little towards the other direction of our house closer to the neighborhoods. Our discovery? We are pros at finding good, cheap housing right on the edge of the nice part of town. This is the 3rd place (out of 4) that we've lived in that is a few streets away from where things start to get "dodgy", as they say here.

The way these power lines are run really crack me up. It's not like this everywhere. Also, here's a little taste of the main road. Please note the parked cars. It doesn't matter which direction you were driving, you can park wherever the heck you want. It's pretty awesome. No driving down to the next street to flip a u-turn just to park. It does look kinda silly, though.

We did find a community garden though. That might be worth looking into.

A big old church with an awesome door.
