  Cairo Pics - View from my bed

I took this picture while lying in bed reading on my houseboat. At night, it would have been easy to roll off the bed right into the river. The fishermen would row under my house at night and I would hear them singing. Ah the Nile - what a view!
 
Greetings. I am an American girl from Washington, DC. In January 2005 I left home to spend 18 months living in Cairo, Egypt and then Beirut, Lebanon to learn Arabic and to work on my MA. I left Beirut 3 weeks before the war in Lebanon began in 2006. After two years back in the US, I've just returned to Lebanon. This blog tells the story of my time in Cairo, Beirut, Boston, DC, New Hampshire and now Beirut again. You can send an email to ria@post.harvard.edu if you'd like.
