Egypt on Hold

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be putting Egypt on proverbial “hold.” Perhaps it’s a way of getting back at the country for making me wait at every turn. Not that I mind waiting, but the universe has a funny way of balancing itself out. I figure I’ll let the country stew for about 12 days. It can scream, curse, and yell all it wants, but these attempts will fall on deaf ears. It’s kind of like how you feel at the Mogamma (visa place in Cairo)…

I’m excited about Germany and the prospects of bratwurst, schnitzel, and beer. And seeing Johanna and Benjamin of course.
