Yeah so I slept in way too late today! 11am! Oh well. I had a slow starting day today. I walked out to road 233, which is near my house. I had to get a new sim card so when I went to jailbreak my phone tonight, it would work.


Then Meg and I took a 30 minute taxi ride to Heliopolis for dinner at Kenny and Ashlee Osborn's flat. They are actually from Tulsa. We did not meet though until we were at the Atlanta airport on my way to Cairo. So it was neat to meet people from the same town, who were going back to Cairo to continue their work there. They have a cute little 3 year old daughter who wanted to play with her as soon as I got there. She remembered me from the airport, so that was good. After dinner and good conversations, Kenny worked on my phone. I now have a working phone here! The taxi ride on the way to and from was a little scary but only because I am not used to the highways yet. So to keep it real I came up with some jokes to tell Meg on our walk home. But of course you may not understand them but I will tell you anyway.

Q. Why did the human cross the highway?
A. Because he lived in Egypt

Q. Why did the motorcycle go down the road with three people and a kid?
A. Because they were on a road in Egypt.

Q. Where did you see the donkey pulling the person and their crop blocking up all the traffic?
A. In downtown Maadi, Cairo Egypt

I love living here so far. I see things everyday that keep the humor in my life. I am not sure what I am going to do when I get back to the states, where I see people driving in lanes and obeying traffic laws!
