Well, we made it back. Lots of delays, but nothing serious, and now I am safely at work, and Sasha is safely at the apartment we are staying in this week, probably sleeping. At some point, I'm going to write up the whole Egypt experience - I've been spewing details left right and centre to people here, but in little bursts so as not to knock them unconscious. I was noticing that I feel like I've been gone a lot longer than a week - I think a real holiday requires dramatic changes, as compared to your day-to-day life, to draw you away and make your brain clear so you can go back to what you usually do with new eyes. I definitely think this holiday fit the bill.

I've also been catching up on what's been happening outside of Egypt, something I didn't do while I was on holiday - taking a break from the news was weird, but good. I felt odd not knowing what had happened in the world for a week, but at the same time it gave me distance, and allowed me to recharge my interest in current events, and also to reflect on why I read the news.

I'm fairly excited about it myself. Of course, now that I don't have much internet access, if something breaks I am... in trouble. But still....
