Birthday
Yesterday was my birthday! We decided to keep my actual bithDAY simple — just dinner for two at Kandahar, my favorite Indian restaurant near our apartment. Next weekend a friend from my CMRS program whose birthday is close to mine, Carl, and I will be having a joint birthday celebration at a local restaurant/bar on the Nile. Justin made me banana pancakes for breakfast (ok, we slept in, more like lunch) and baked me a chocolate cake. Alfa Market has the best imported baked goods section and Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix was available! We also walked to Baskin Robbins after dinner for some ice cream to go with our cake. Yummy! FYI a ‘pint’ of ice cream in Egypt is actually only four scoops. Oh well, that’s better for the waist line anyways!
Some pictures … and then a post about my birthday present: Magnoun!

I wish you couldn't see the fact that I wore TENNIS SHOES out to a nice dinner. Sigh. I was on automatic leaving the house, I totally meant to wear my nice shoes!
