Hello everybody! How ya doin? I went to visit Islamic Cairo last weekend and saw some really cool stuff, like a really old house that had a secret passageway. You saw this cabinet that looked normal and then you pulled on it and it opened to a secret room where you could spy on people.
Then we had lunch in this really cool matam - that's Arabic for restaurant. I had a strawberry shake - yum yum yum yum yum and I ordered a cheese sandwich, but I didn't like it. I liked the bread though.
Then we went to the Khan el Khalil, which is the Arab market in Cairo. It's super huge and it looks like the movie Aladdin. Daddy bought me a magic lamp! I rubbed it, but nothing happened. Bummer!!! I was hoping that a genie would pop out so I could wish that school was over forever!!!! Maybe next time. We had a lot of fun - see you next blog!

Wow, Owen, sounds like you're having a lot of fun over there. Ask your mom and dad when we get to come visit you so we can have fun too! I have a friend who's working at Saqqara on an archeology dig, maybe he can take us inside where they're working!
Is it cold in Cairo? It's very cold back here in Washington DC, but we haven't had much snow at all. I wish it were springtime and warmer.
Give big hugs to your brothers and parents and grandma for me. I miss you all!
Love,
Auntie Kat.
