Relaxing...

So yesterday, Thanksgiving, turned out to be a very typical Thanksgiving Day in that we relaxed all morning (went to art galleries, had Egyptian pizza for lunch) and then headed over to Annika's friend's fabulous apartment (by all standards) for Thanksgiving dinner where we baked pies, made gravey and waited for guests to arrive.... of course like most of my Thanksgivings, dinner was 2 hours late and I am not sure I've ever seen a mad frenzy take to the turkey like I did yesterday. It was crazy - but delicious. We had a hard time finding the ticket station for the trains last night (because nothing is ever easy in Africa and Annika doesn't always explain things completely - as being local you forget that your guests are local too.) Lara and I, who shared a lunch pizza ended up with the same bug and we were just glad to get to bed.

Today starts the weekend (Sabbath) and we're heading up to the very historic Alexandria for seafood, more relaxing and some history. It should be a very nice weekend indeed.
