It was election day in Egypt the last time I posted. It was also my "I probably shouldn't have eaten that" date with destiny, we took it pretty easy and basically spent the day strolling through the fruit market and stalking the polling stations in Dokki, near Becky's apartment. It was really very exciting! Although the results (now published) don't seem like what the more liberal and/or educated Egyptians were hoping would happen, I still found it heartening to see so many people out and about, waving their fuscia dyed fingers in our general direction.
This picture totally warmed the cockles of my heart. Is that girl not the cutest thing ever, waving her little Egyptian flag, clutching her father and her pink stuffed bunny? I love the expression on the soldiers face. He's all, "Oh snap, what do I do with this cuteness? It is overwhelming me, play it cool. Don't smile. Seriously. Stop it lips." It was so much more adorable in person.
Finally, you food porn enthusiasts, this one is for you: Enjoy my bounty from the fruit market (ie. fruit stalls and the bakery I obviously visited. I got some pretzel wheel thing with dates inside, a honey croissant, and some Fig Newton-esque other snacks. Yum!
