Today was a rather low key day. I spent most of it finishing a book from a series that I am totally addicted to called The Dragon riders of Pern. I highly recommend it! In addition, we also went to the grocery for a few essentials . The biggest essential in my book being mint flavored toothpaste because the fresh apple flavored toothpaste that had been supplied was just yuck. We also bought the same lollipop for Ram 3 times because the first one fell out of his mouth, and the second was lost somewhere between playing foosball and putt putt at cheeky monkey, our favorite indoor/outdoor play area.

While playing putt putt Tut's ball was apprehended by this stray desert cat then Ram decided to donate his ball to the feline as well.

We haven't been on the boat as of yet because apparently anyone who wants to board a boat at this point has to have a permit issued to them by the police. This is to keep people they wish to prosecute from fleeing the country. Even if this area of Egypt wasn't as affected by the revolution it is interesting to note the changes taking place.... though maybe the revolution did have as much effect here but on the other side of the spectrum, that some people here are the ones to be kept in the country.
