Mmmm...Burgers...

Wahied came back from Luxor long haired, roughly shaven, cheerful and whole. As gifts, he brought home an entire bag full of dirty laundry, lots of (really nice) hibiscus, and a Camel-bone necklace.

Unfortunately I've been so busy I've scarcely had time to enjoy his company. We did, however, get to go out on Wednesday night to an "American" restaurant in our neighborhood, where we ate ---anyone? anyone? Buller? --- Burgers. And we're going to go back! I would rank it within the top five burger-making-places I've ever eaten at, and it was certainly the best burger I've ever had in Egypt. Mmmm...

Other than that, not much exciting stuff has been happening. I've been incredibly busy at work, and have managed to rope Wahied into the process as well. I have enlisted him into the process of re-translating a listing (about 700 statements). He has been incredibly helpful, but the process is slow going, because he insists on teaching me arabic during the process. Thus, I'm struggling through sentence after sentence while Wahied coaches me through "yes, good, benat is the girls, now what are they doing?"

While both helpful and productive, I can think of better ways to spend my (all too short) sunny, 80* weekend.

A'ight --- back to work.
