I spent the entire day with Brandon at City Stars — a GIANT 7-floor mall in Cairo (this is a cell-phone picture we took while walking down a dizzying flight of stairs). It has everything… lots of great stores, grocery stores, a couple of giant movie theaters, rides, a million stores I have never heard of, and just about every popular American chain restaurant you can think of. We were on a quest for a mixer, a cake pan, a pizza pan, and something I can wear to an Egyptian wedding this week (more on that later!). We got everything but the pizza pan. I feel really accomplished! And neither of us got totally fed up with being in a mall for such a long period of time. Oh, and we picked up Season 2 of LOST on DVD. That’s right. We are RE-watching it. I’m excited.
It was a really fun birthday! I never would have guessed I would spend my 25th birthday in a mall in Egypt, but I did, and it was great. Thanks, Brandon!
