@ Mom -- That's why it's in cairo but not of Cairo. It's like a quaint suburb...in the city.

I enjoyed the photos--reminds me of the days we spent in that neighborhood. We lived on Damascus street and Road 11--closer to Hada'iq al-Ma'adi.

Good times. Good memories.

And don't you think the greenery is sort of like "impostering" too? Because if you think Cairo is green and beautiful, think again--much of it is hot, dusty and dirty. Interrupted occasionally by greenery. At least that was my impression.

Oh yeah, Abdoun. That rich people place off in the outskirts of the city where all the embassy peeps live. All the rich embassy folk here live in Maadi. Except us. We're not rich or embassy. We're just imposters.

Maadi is beautiful. I love how green it is there. How fun! I'm glad you snapped some photos to share with us. It's hard for me to imagine the places you see and the things you do without some kind of pictures to show us. I appreciate it!!!

There are lots of grass fences like this in Adelaide, Australia, too. But other than that, Maadi and Adelaide are very dissimilar.

great! It reminds somewhat of the area around the church building in Jordan, though my only reference is your pictures. What's with the grass fences? Thanks for the post. jeremy

In her post-partum daze, Nancy forgot to mention that I actually took the pictures. I even tried to be all nonchalant and espionage-like while I did it. :)
