First Day in the Pool!

Doortje and I went for a swim today, after being in the desert for the last few days and as it's 36 degrees in Cairo today, it sounded like a good idea but the water was freezing.  Still, it was refreshing.  We're going to miss our pool when we are back in Holland.

Last Desert Trip

We are back in Cairo after what we think will be our last trip into the desert. We took the dogs as it was a short 4 days 1080 Km trip, we think they had fun. 

It's Official!

Doortje received her memo from the Foreign Ministry today and it's official, we are to be posted back to Holland! The better news is that they gave Door her number one choice from her list of jobs, that being the finance department at the ministry. But the best news is that they also gave her a promotion! We were hoping for one of the three but to get all was a shock, but a very pleasant one.
