Food is my love language . Eat your fill! Does this mean no cooking for you?! Enjoy!

No cooking, Marc. Just lots and lots of eating! I messaged my sisters at the 10-day mark and said ‘help! I’m getting fat!’ 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for sharing, Noha. There is so much ALIVENESS I feel in this post, in your description of Cairo. So much life in the cafes, but nothing is quiet. It makes me wonder, should anything be quiet? Are we not here to make noise?? Food for thought (a medicine for a medicine!). May you continue the enjoyment and the exhales, the breezes, the aliveness. I'm so grateful and glad to witness you in this place!

"The roads, the lights, the cars and their honking horns. People. The thrum of humanity." That sounds like the city I remember! Great photos, too.

In theory, I would LOVE to be LOVED with food. As the primary (nearly only) person in my household who planned, prepped, and prepared meals, I have such appreciation for being fed. The noise, on the other hand, would do me in!

Loved the photo dump - that flower water sink/fountain thing! 😍

Forget India, I wanna go to Egypt first lol. Seriously though, it’s probably more likely that I’d visit Cairo than anywhere in India right now. Love how Cairo is still overwhelming you in all these beautiful ways!
