The Barrages or Al-Kanater

After the camel market, we visited the barrages which is where the Nile splits into two branches and heads off into the delta. We stopped at a cafe and had some mango juice (and a much needed Coke Light for me) and then played at the park.

I love these trees.

As we were strolling across the bridge, I noticed this man riding his donkey and talking on his cell phone. I thought it would make a cool picture so I quickly rummaged through my bag for my camera. The police escorts must have noticed because they chased the guy down and made him stop to pose for a photo. I was mortified.

So Booker's preschool class does this thing called "Grover Sleeps Over." Each kid takes turns bringing Grover home along with a journal where they draw pictures and write about their activities with Grover. Booker's entries usually go something like this, "Grover slept on the bottom bunk while I slept on the top" or "Grover ate mac and cheese with me." I figured Grover could use a little spice in his life, so we got permission to bring him to Cairo. So check out Booker's blog for updates on his adventures with Grover.
