Thursday was a delightfully lazy day. After 18 hours of airports, layovers and economy class seats, the travelers were a bit weary and happy to sleep in. Mom, Dad and I were up by 8:30 having coffee and quiet time, but the crew was happy to sleep til lunch time! Everyone here is passionate about their workouts, so we've purchased month memberships to a gym here. Our first outing in Cairo? A visit to the Community Services Association to work out, where Meredith worked out so hard that she managed to break an elliptical, Thomas lifted so much weight he caused the leg press to break, and Wilby made friends with all the staff and ate muffins. He needed them after his intenso workout. After our those tough workouts, we decided to enjoy a bit of rest and relaxation. Some friends who are out of town offered the use of their patio and pool, and we enjoyed a sunny picnic, a few fierce games of bananagrams, and a bit of swimming. There were a few intense battles to see who could push who into the pool. Somehow, poor Rach bore the brunt of the dunking. After another crazy cab ride back to my flat, everyone was happy to chill and play games for the evening. Next up on the schedule? Garbage City.
