Christmas in Cairo


Now Christmas Day is done and dusted it's nice to just blob around. I have to admit there was no mad last minute rush to the stores for presents or food this year. It was strange not being able to find much in the way of Christmas Decorations until the actual week of Christmas though.

Christmas dinner was ROAST PORK, kumara, potatoes and very fresh beans with lashings of gravy and apple sauce. Mmmm. Roast pork you ask? We managed to buy one from the caterer at our local expat club :-) We only managed to eat half of it so it will be roast pork sammies for lunch today for Tony and I.
Bruce and Margo are well established in our Cairo lifestyle. Today they are off to the Coptic area of Cairo so should have some stories to tell us when they return. They will be doing a self guided tour so their perspective will be very different to ours.

    1. Margo and I cooked. Love pork and so pleased we didn't have to eat turkey for Christmas dinner.
