What we are actually missing…
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007We’ve been back two weeks and it seems like it was a million years ago that we were living by the Nile. The constant traffic noise, the persistent dust in the air, the exhilaration I felt when I successfully crossed the street on a Thursday night…all of these intense experiences seem to have just vanished from my mind.
Egypt is like a dream to me now. I find it hard to believe I was actually living there for nine months only two weeks ago…But I notice that my behavior in DC is different than before we experienced Egypt.
Boy, DC sure seems like a sleepy little town to me now! I walk down the street during rush hour traffic and find myself wondering, “Where are all the people?” I also walk down the side of the street (not the sidewalk) and smile at everyone I see, just because I can without anyone misconstruing my expression of happiness!
But what I miss the most is our friends we made while in Egypt. It’s impossible to express how grateful we are to you for inviting us into your lives and sharing your friendship with us. We miss you all very much and hope to see you again soon.
