I am excited beyond belief. In preparation for this trip, Doug assigned some homework for me, including The Cairo Trilogy (a lyrical delight) by Naguib Mahfouz, Egypt's Nobel Laureate in Literature, and The Yacoubian Building (fabulous!) by Alaa Al Aswany. I will be reading Where Mountains Roar: A Personal Report from the Sinai and Negev Desert by Lesley Hazelton on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic. Stay tuned; I'll check in regularly, sorta taking y'all with me, inshallah.
