Maadi Moments



Maadi, for those who don't know, is name the name of our neighborhood in Cairo. I often tell people it's like living in Brooklyn; tree lined, pretty, and there are a lot of strollers. Here are some photos from our weekend wanderings...

The Indian Jasmine trees on our street (my favorite in all of Egypt, I believe)



I love morning walks where you can still see the moon. It's there, very tiny in the middle.




I captured these on my way to grab coffee and meet Amanda and Gordana for a little "yard sailing"and breakfast at Cuba Cabana.



Ramona and Veli playing at a yoga garden party...


Poolside...




I think some of the kids call this a "fairy tree"



I love this villa



Where did you wander this weekend?

I wandered over here from Rhythm of the Home. I enjoyed your yoga post, then noticed that you live in Cairo.
Our family was in Cairo early last summer and I would really love to journey back there and to explore Egypt more. It was a shocking place for 'Us Virginians' but quite moving for me.
I look forward to reading your blog and about your adventures living in Cairo--even though it sounds like you'll be stateside for the summer =)

Yes, I did take a little break for the summer, but I'll be back later this week. Thank you for visiting!
