From the Peace Corps in Belize to grad school in Egypt - the musings of a wanderer. Friday, February 5, 2010.

That mosaic is lovely.

After strapping on my mud boots, Dov and I contracted with a young boy to give us a ride across a small though slightly swollen river on his horse. He was a masterful salesman – “You wait for me? See the black horse? I be back. Wait for the black horse! Do we really lose our powers of observation that drastically as we age? It’s astonishing. I love it th...The Ins...

From the Peace Corps in Belize to grad school in Egypt - the musings of a wanderer. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. You knew it was coming. Backgammon. also a staple of cafe life. Shams taught me his version, and never once managed to beat me. We spent our hours indulging in the quintessentially Egyptian pastimes of backgammon, tea and shisha, and debating the relative strengths, weaknesses and quirks of our respective countries of egypt, india, canada and the u.s. And then. the time came to head back t...

Cayo to Cairo: June 2008
http://catriona76.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
From the Peace Corps in Belize to grad school in Egypt - the musings of a wanderer. Sunday, June 1, 2008. The arrival of the Wet. From the oppressive heat I’d been suffering (with great complaint) since my return from a decidedly cooler early (read indecisive) spring in the northeastern US. Thank God! A sight from the dusty past (as of a week ago). Mica, John and I headed to Blue Creek early in the morning to catch the festivities, so I had a chance to check out the creek that lends it’s name to th...
