In July of 2002, Joe, Megan and I moved to Maadi, Egypt to live for one year. Maadi is in the southern part of Cairo, about eight miles from downtown Cairo. Living in Egypt was an adventure for all three of us. Today, I came across photos from a trip we took to Saqqara and Memphis.
Last night we went to Saint Paul to relive a bit of Egypt for our monthly international dinner. Our snacks this month were from Africa and since the food can vary from country to country within the continent we went with Egypt.
I thought it might be fun to start with a photo of me at Saqqara in 2002.
Letting the camel get to know me.
Now for dinner photos (2024).
Charlotte and Caleb pose in front of the flower covered wall.
The flowers are silk and they are three dimensional. The name of the restaurant is
Zait and Za'atar. Zait is Arabic for olive oil. Za'atat is a fragrant spice blend made from
dried herbs.

Appetizer of dolmas (Megan's favorite).
