An Alexandria First

I stepped out of the door of my friend’s apartment building tonight after a long day, and a long week, and felt….

RAIN

I didn’t even realize what it was until the water kept steadily dropping from the sky…nope, this was no air conditioner leak.

Maybe it was the lack of sleep, but it felt like renewal, starting something new, hitting refresh and seeing a new email pop up.

I can’t say that I miss the sloppy slooshy trudging to class, soggy socks, or slippery stairways. But man, my first rain in Egypt….what a great feeling.
