Month one went pretty fast,
All that free time was a blast.
Alas, in month 2 we weren’t allowed to relax.
Christiy’s mornings were taken by church work (and play)
While Dylan spent his days subbing away.
Afternoons often filled with Arabic too,
Learning fatah and kasra and shadda and skoon.
Teaching English and tutoring took half the nights each week
Leaving Dylan and Christiy exhausted and meek.
The weekends were lifesavers with free time to spare
Although softball and church claimed some space there.
Hot weather continued, as I’m sure it always will
(November, they tell us, is when we’ll feel a chill).
We’ve spent time together and hung out with friends
Talking football and movies and other odds and ends.
We’re living in Egypt – in Africa – the Middle East
Please continue to join us, on this blog at least.
