Greetings from Madrid or as they say here "Madrith"! Our wonderful friends Doug and Diana took in us refugees. We are spending a few nights here and then heading to Barcelona for a week of family-time and relaxation. This looks like it will be a long jouney...and one we are dedicated to struggle through with Egypt. So...a vacation before the hard work of rebuilding a country.
We still have a few American neighbors and friends in Egypt and of course almost all of our Egyptian friends are still there. When you see them on TV, please please think good thoughts for them. Think of Marty who bakes and shares a large sheetcake every day to keep spirits up. Think of Stephanie who organizes games in the garden for the children. Think of Peter and Betsy and Casey and Kathleen. Think of Hala and Farida and Hend and Ahmed and Reham and countless, countless others who are keeping up their spirits and good cheer and reaching out to others. They are carrying on through difficult circumstances and need all of the goodwill that can be sent their way.
More from Barcelona, in sha'Allah (God willing)
