Our World: Maadi Album, pt. 4
August 5, 2006
It is not an illusion: the blogs have been slowing down lately. Tomorrow is my last day here in Cairo, and soon I will be re-united with Emily in Atlanta. The past couple of days have been all about cleaning and errands.. and an unexpected friendship with the bawab (door-man) Sayyid. But I thought I would post a few pictures of some places that Emily and I frequented while living in Maadi.

That is the sign in the Metro station which reads: al-Maadi.
This was our apartment building. Our apartment was on the top right.
The restaurant we went to on our first night in Cairo.. and on Emily's last night, located on Road 9.
A favorite lunchtime spot. I loved the strawberry juice here..
The grocery store we often went to..
