Safe amidst the excitment

Today is a pretty big day for Egypt. I'm reluctant to write too much on this open forum, easily traceable public document, but I will say that if you google search things like Egypt riots, Egypt protests or anything of the like, you will figure it out. Please read reputable sources. Keep checking in on this country, things are happening.

So what do we do when school has been (yet again) canceled because of the strong potential for political unrest????

Nothing extraordinary.

We certainly don't go downtown Cairo. But in our neck of the woods, a mere 12 KM from all the action, nothing is different.

We share a meal with friends, watch a movie, and go to bed.

I want to assure everyone of my safety. I am not here for heroics. If things become unstable, and if I feel unsafe, I will be on the next airplane out of here. The school has an evacuation plan, and I will fully comply, if necessary.

In the mean time, pray for Egypt.
