Red Sky at Night

The American culture center in Alexandria organized a Big Brother Big Sister program for high school students studying English that want to meet and get to know Americans. We had our first meeting tonight. The kids are great. It is a great opportunity for them to practice English and for me to practice Arabic. We are meeting again this Saturday to hang out. It should be great.

Halloween is coming soon. No surprise, Egyptians do not celebrate Halloween. I could deal with that if I could satisfy my cravings for Mounds. (http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/mounds.asp)
What I would give to have a entire bag of Mound on October 31st. Oh wow. The hunt is on. So good yet so not good.

Shoes, 9 days , and thankful

What is your address? I'll mail you some mounds.
اشعر بأنّ كل شيء تمام. سأراك بعد وقت قصير

Hmmm, 9 days. Would that be the only reference I ever see you make to the importance of Nov 4?
