A Long Day that Ended Well

We are safe and sound in Maadi.   A long day of flights yesterday/Thursday.   We think about 30ish hours of travel door to door.  Good byes were hard as we left Columbia!  Dinner in Atlanta and watched Elliot's friend on Jeopardy win!

And off to Paris

Flight to Paris was long, had a little cafe, quiche and eclair before boarding to Cairo.

Sun setting as we came into Cairo.  Yup, the Nile.   Big, huge city.

A short bus ride and we were quickly met by two representatives of the school and travel agency.  Off to the VIP lounge as they process passports and get luggage.  Love it!  The most relaxing way to enter a country.   

And a wonderful entry to our new home.   Clean and spacious.  Our boxes are here.

And we get to enjoy unpacking and settling in.   So glad to have brought lots of "us" from Columbia.   

Today we have a little "get to know" our neighborhood, a swim at the school and a dinner early tonight.
