Greetings from hot, hot Cairo everyone. We got married last Saturday and things went off without a hitch. Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Italy for the festivities. We hope you all had a great time.

Egypt has been fantastic so far. We arrived on Monday night and immediately set out for a midnight walk in our leafy neighborhood located on an island in the middle of the Nile. The island — home to lots of embassies, parks and great cafes and restaurants – is called Zamalek, and we’re very happy we ended up staying here. It’s been our peaceful oasis in the middle of hectic Cairo. Tomorrow we leave for India, but here are some highlights from Cairo before we go:

On Tuesday, we took a sunset sail aboard a felucca (the local sailboat) on the Nile.

Today the pyramids of Giza and Saqqara blew our minds.

Also, Cairo is VERY loud. This is the alternative to the peaceful felucca ride we took. It appears most Cairenes prefer the psychedelic party boat.
