A brief review

It has been awhile since my last post, but not intention.  Things have been fairly routine the last 10 days with school, Swahili lessons, and such.  Really the biggest news is that I plan to go to the mall today, which I haven't gone to since my mom was here, and I look forward to buying a new shirt and grabbing some mexican food.  Unfortunately I feel a bit sick today, with sore throat and a headache, but otherwise I'm alright.

I guess the biggest news is that Mallory and I had joined a health club at a big fancy hotel in Cairo.  I purchased a 6 month membership and the place is absolutely fantastic.  She has been going every day and I've been going every other.  The best part about it is the shower really, as I haven't experienced such a hot, highly pressured and long lasting shower for many years - if ever.  Given all my miserable shower experiences in Cairo, this really makes a difference.  The place also has saunas and hot tubs, massages, and plenty of equipment to work out.  It is very clean and just down the street, so it is a rather convenient escape from Egypt.

With that said, I'm going to go now, and head out to Nasr City, in search of the City Stars mall.  I can't wait to get lost somewhere within its 7 floors of sprawling consumerism. Ciao!
