Ma’adi and 6th of October City

Christopher loves shopping.  His mommy love it somewhat less.

Yesterday we went to Ma’adi.  It’s the part of Cairo we used to live in before we moved to be nearer to the school.  Mommy and the other teachers like to visit there whenever they need to walk around.  Yesterday, we really wanted a burger.  Our favorite burger place is called Lucille’s.  We like to go to Lucille’s even though Ma’adi is very far away from New Cairo where we live.  There is only one place to get a burger in New Cairo and that is the McDonald’s.  Lucille’s burgers are a lot better than McDonald’s.  We also got to meet up with A and Mr. D, because they live super close to Lucille’s.   We had a lot of fun there.

After Lucille’s, Mrs. M and Mommy and I went shopping.  We looked into every store ever on the whole of Road 9.  Road 9 is a really neat shopping district.  It’s only one street, but you can find almost everything there.  Mrs. M is getting a silver necklace with her name written on it in Arabic.  Mommy found some pretty black coasters in an alabaster store.  We can’t wait to serve somebody coffee on them. 

Today we went to the Dandy Mall in 6th of October City to hang out with F, the art teacher.  It was a long ride, but we got to do some more shopping.  We found a really nice little book shop.  If I hadn’t dragged her away, Mommy would still be there right now!  She bought a bunch of books for the kids at school, including a dictionary for the classroom.

I almost forgot!  The Science Fair was on Friday and it turned out to be a lot of fun.  Mommy had to judge the 4th and 5th grade projects.  Her favorites included an experiment to see if video games were useless, and the best amounts of baking soda and vinegar to make a giant fantastic mess of a volcano eruption.  We will announce the winners on Sunday or Monday at school.

The month of May is the time Mommy has set aside to work on the school’s literary magazine.  It should be very interesting.  Wish her luck!
