New Trip to Siwa Tomorrow.

Tomorrow,  February 26th, I will be taking a three day trip that has been organized by Fulbright.  We will be going to Siwa, Egypt.  Siwa is an oasis town located in the western Sahara, near the border of Libya.  The people and culture are ethnically Berber, rather than Arab, and consequently it is a rather different place than one could otherwise find elsewhere within Egypt. Mallory went there about a month ago and considers it to be her favorite place within all of Egypt, so I have quite a bit to look forward to.  I will leave Cairo around 6:30 in the morning, and will return Saturday night.
