A quick update.....

We are currently "camped", if you can camp in a 4 bedroom villa, at our transit accomodation Safwa Resort. And pretty nice it is too. Two great things we like about the place: 1. Its not the Intercon. 2. It has a fabulous pool just outside the door. Pool is literally massive. There are lots of people who stay here permanently who have kids, but is there something about Egypt that attracts girls. Luckily J has a male mate here so they can both show off doing mad things in the

pool impressing the hoards of admiring fans.


Life continues to settled down to some normality and normality in this househoold means football. Both boys started training tonight. They are playing at Cairo Youth Soccer (its football, americans!), the standard looks moderate-low, but we shall see.

In other news P managed to get his Syrian visa so if off to Damascus later. We booked an Eid (post Ramadan holiday) trip to Sharm al Sheikh to swim with the fishes and we purchased a used 4wd Pajero from our friend who used to live here. More on all these later......
