Images of the Revolution (from my lense...)

Here are some shots showing what life was like for this Canadian in Cairo when the going got exciting...


This is Road 223 on January 28, the first day that huge things happened. Clearly Rd 223 didn't get the message.


With no cell phones and no internet, we had no way of canceling Jen's birthday party, and so we met for food, fun, and revolution.


The next morning this is the entrance to my neighbourhood. The boabs and local men blocked all the entrances so that anyone hoping to loot and riot would be turned away. This was touching, this is the real Egypt.


On our first trip out of Ma'adi in days, we found that the entire suburb had been surrounded by tanks. There were check points everywhere.
En route to Sharm el Sheikh, on the Sinai Peninsulah.
