Been off here for a while. Arrived back in Cairo a little over a week ago; a two week break in the States was full of family, friends, great food, and cold, cold weather. Hoping to get into more of a routine on the CP like in the balmy days of September and October. I felt hot in a taxi for the first time in a while today — high of 73, sunny — maybe a shift to warmer weather will bring back regular posting.
I’m continuing to write for the Daily Star Egypt, with a number of stories before I left Cairo in mid-January and a few since returning back last week. Building up an archive, here’s the file so far:
