Hello Friends!
Life so far in Egypt is relaxing and beautiful. I am blessed to be retreating in Agamy which is a beach area about 20km from Alexandria (and about 3 hours from Cairo). We are here in a beautiful family home and settling into Egyptian life in August in Agamy. We sleep late, sip coffee by the pool, and then head to the beach for sunset. Have a meal (around 8 or 9) and then stay up late reading and/or talking.
more teachers arrive tomorrow, so I imagine at some point we will have to hunker down and really work on our curriculums, but for now I am soaking in the Egyptian beach life, elhamduAllah (thank God).
more to come soon, but for now feeling incredibly grateful to have this slow time of self-reflection and peace.
These are Mrs. Laila’s roses. so much LOVE
love love love
