Patricia's Story
Haven't updated since 2009. Still in Egypt. A lot has happened here since 2009. A revolution we watched from our front room window, we live on the Nile and could see the smoke from Tahrir Square and burning buildings. It was an interesting time and for awhile people here thought things would get better and change was to come. It got worse with the election (if you want to call it that) of Morsi. The Brotherhood started changing the constitutions to make the president above the law and were in the process of selling the eastern part of the Sinai to the Palestinians...., there was much more crazy things happening here and finally the Egyptian people got fed up with Morsi and his regime and fired him.

Anyway, we have been selling our farmland and hope to be out of Egypt by end of next year. We bought our dream beach front condo in Daytona Beach and when we can try and visit as often as possible. Have met some incredible people here, Egyptian and Ex-Pats, had great fun while here, but we are ready to come home. Our daughter and her family are now living in the San Francisco area and see them a couple times a year.....can't believe I have a 43 year old daughter.
