Last night we went to dinner at Tant Na3mas house, and ate waaaaaay too much. Ayman has a new thing- calling Amr by his first name. Except for he calls him OM-ber. It is so cute. At dinner last night one of the cousins, Noha (the one who had the ceremony for the marriage contract) was Aymans best friend. She had Skittles. To curry favor with Ayman, she dealt them out over the course of the evening. Very smart. Also, after almost a year in the US, Amr's cousin Amr al Samman has returned to Egypt, so he was there too. He had stayed the weekend with us a couple of times and got to drive my dads boat when he was with us last summer. Amr AS is super smart by the way, "Like brain surgeon smart?" you ask? Funny you should say that. He is a brain surgeon. So yeah, brain surgeon smart. He is also really cool and speaks super good English. Since Uncle Maged was not there last night, it was good i had someone else to talk to that wasn't afraid to speak English to me. It seem most everyone has studied english, it just depends on how much they use it. When they talk to me, i tend to speak a little fast, even though i try not to, and then they get lost in the conversation, and embarrassed. It is all really sweet that they try to talk to me though. I really appreciate (and encourage) the effort. So tonight we are going to another dinner again, this time at Uncle Saids house in Nasr City. I took pictures from his balcony a little bit ago. Anyhoo, we will chow down there tonight, and hopefully i won't forget to get pictures like last night. Also, Maged and Nancy and the kids should be coming anytime now, so that will be nice. Ayman loves to imitate Ahmed, and they really play together.
That is all for now though....
Will do my best to post again soon, hopefully a video or something.
Peace out, yo.
