So nice to get so many birthday wishes from around the world, in several different languages! I had a very Egyptian birthday. I was all set to head to the nicest restaurant in town with my colleagues to celebrate. First the dress-up part hit a snag, as I was informed by my new hotel residence that most of my clothes were destroyed in their attempt to wash them. ("If a little bleach is good, then a LOT of bleach must be great.") Everything got filthy in Cairo, and was pretty gross to begin with, so I gave them most of what I wear to wash. Then one of my three colleagues got admitted to the hospital this afternoon, so the rest of us went and watched over her most of the evening so she did not have to go through the same terrifying experience I had in that hospital. She's going to be OK, so I'm thankful for that.
So no clothes and no birthday dinner. But tomorrow I will be buying myself some, uh, nice new Egyptian clothes!
