Dinner at Sequoia

Not too many pictures to post. Really, I have been working at the university more than I have been out lately. I know it is hard to believe, but really.

I did go out with some friends from AUC to Sequoia restaurant in Zamalek 2 weekends ago. The place is fabulous, right at the northern tip of the island with great views of the Nile and the city. But it was dark, and I'm not the best photographer (I need Michelle Haley here). But here is a picture of part of our group at dinner.


3 of those pictured are AUC professors: Justin is a marine biologist, Lori is in linguistics, Daniel is in rhetoric and composition. The other girl, Laura, is here visiting until December. I talked to her a few nights after this and found out she has a degree in Russian literature and has read Tolstoy (and others) in the original language, so I'm quite impressed and jealous.

The only other new pictures I have are of some signs in English. I find some of the signs in English here quite entertaining. For instance, I can't help but wonder what kind of services are provided to the business men?


And this one is right outside my apartment:
