Visual Update 1

Given our hectic schedule my photography time has been limited -- but I look forward to capturing moments at St. Andrews and our trips in the future.

This is the view from our first apartment.


It's wild to think about Moses just floating his way up that big boy.






A Qur'an laying on the counter in the first apartment. Almost every single taxi driver has a Qur'an laying on his dashboard. Not only is it a sacred religious text, but it projects the history of the Muslim world and the eminence of their language. Arabic is the blood of the Arab tradition, their greatest art is their in words.

Below is a collection of pictures looking out from the girls' apartment (top) and from the boys' new apartment (middle, bottom).


All for now!

Gorgeous cityscape picture, John. I'm pretty captivated by this blog so far... keep it up. I'm really intrigued by the enormous size of the police force. Even NYPD is only 36,000; half a million is more an army than a police force. They must be ubiquitous... damn popo.
