After a wait for the record books, Dana has arrived safe and sound in Cairo. Stories of her visit to date:
1) Thanks to Phil, Dana has been "adopted" into the Survivor: Micronesia phenomenon. Despite her rep as an avid viewer and frequent giggler, Dana made an "I don't really care" decision to cheer for Natalie who turned out to be a witch.
2) Oscar has a new best friend forever. He has charmed his way (or annoyed his way...) into hours of playtime with Dana. Dana is impressed with his "fetch" skills yet disappointed by his "tug of war" effort.
3) On Monday night, we went to our favourite restaurant to treat Dana to a nice Egyptian meal. She ordered the special - pork.
4) Last night our teeny, tiny kitchen grew to fit all THREE of us. I tell ya, it was as miraculous as the Grinch's heart enlargement! Dana, Phil and I worked together to make soft tacos for dinner. Dana worked hard as the frying pan lady, Phil filled the role of meat man, and I was the dishwashing kid. It was exceptional teamwork and a delicious first meal as a trio.
5) Tonight was marked by a long trip to the Travel Agency. Dana is headed on a Nile Cruise in May and to Tanzania in June. This weekend will be enjoyed touring the city and cheering on Phil at the ball park. On Saturday, we will go for sister injections at Dr. Ghaly's - B12 for me and Yellow Fever for Dana. Should be fun.
More stories to come - it's Cairo.
