Squirrels

Currently, Nick and I are sitting on the sidewalk of GOAL restaurant behind our hotel. Had a very busy day and burnt out from my first 24 hours of reporting: last night at the Flamenco Festival, talking with an Al-Ahram journalist this morning, this afternoon shadowing the Arabic Dialogue students who tutor English at St. Andrew’s to refugees and then taking a mystic womb dancing lesson. As I sit here attempting to condense my day into the blog, my computer charger sitting in a plant as it dangles through the restaurant window, I am more interested in getting some video of the cat underneath a neighboring table. Cats here litter the streets like squirrels back home. Acquiring some good street-cat footage has proven more difficult than it should considering the plethora of felines roaming the city streets.
