Concert and Sheesha at the Highest Point in Cairo

Due once more to sd card attendance failure I can't post anny pictures yet of my vacation on the North Coast of Egypt at the Mediterrainian sea.  However here are some photos of the concert I went to when I got back.  A band called Massar Egbari was playing and they were wonderful.  




On our drive to the square it was playing in we say this....In the middle of Tahrir square yet again.  It will be interesting to see what happens this Friday.

This is the band. If you look closely you can see that one of the band members is playing a tubla, or a traditional middle eastern drum.

Yasin on Justin shoulders trying to find another group of friends in the crowd.
Derek dancing with an Egyptian man in a spongebob shirt.  The Egyptians there for the most part were in love with his hair.
Derek and Charlotte attempting to do an Egyptian dance move.
The (second) cutest Egyptian kid ever.  No lie, his mother who was decked out in a full niqab, kept pushing him into the crowd to dance with us so she could take pictures.
Lee-ann and I attempting the same dance move.


A picture with the sheesha guy at the cafe/ outdoor hookah lounge we went to afterwards.  The place was literally on the edge of the highest point in Cairo.  It was beautiful.

Sorry that this was such a short post and long overdue at that.  I have been extremely busy with the start of classes, but the next one will be more detailed and have vacation pictures I promise!
