Unfortunately this blog will not come with any amazing pictures or witty writing (I say this suggesting that it sometimes does). Very fortunately, I am able to blog.
As you have probably seen, there is some "unrest" in Egypt. Thanks to Canada's evacuation flight, Tom and I arrived safely in Frankfurt, Germany about 8 hours ago. We will be here for at least 3 days, watching for developments in Egypts, and deciding whether to return to work in Cairo (only if safe of course), or to head back to Canada. We are with about 20 other people from our staff, and are being taken care of well by our school. We plan to make the best of a bad situation and take the opportunity to see a little bit of Germany.
We will keep you updated as we get more information. Thank you for all your kind thoughts. It was a stressful couple of days, but we always felt safe, and are comforted in knowing that we can head home to open arms if need be.
I am so glad you guys are ok. Keep us posted.

I am so relieved that you are presently safe.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can make the best of a bad situation -you two will-and make the best of this unexpected visit to Germany.
Whatever comes next I know you will make the most informed choice.
Look out for each other.Miss you,Love you
LOVE MOM XXX
So glad to read that you always felt safe - but that must have been stressful. Enjoy Germany!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine what life is like in Cairo. I have watched CNN every day for over a week now. So much anger. This will take so long to recover from in Egypt. I thank God His hand has been upon you two. There is no shame in coming back home. You have had a good six plus months there and I am sure, have done an awesome job. What an experience! Enjoy your freedom and do some sightseeing. I miss you both:)
ReplyDeleteThe above comment was from Mom NOT Stefanie. Don't know what happened there.
ReplyDeletehey guys its amber just want to say that im glad that you are ok and are being looked after so well i have been writing messages on tom's facebook page but i wanted to write something here as well
ReplyDeletemiss you guys like crazy
with love
amber xoxox
ps come home soon
ReplyDeleteFYI - We are flying to Thailand today. Sorry Amber, we won't be back in Canada as soon as you'd like.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly time to stop worrying or feeling any sympathy for us. I'd say we're officially starting vacation.
I knew you two could make lemonade out of the lemons-enjoy your "vacation" and stay safe -
ReplyDeleteIt is not possible to tell your Moms not to worry-that is always a part of the job description -but knowing you are out of immediate danger is certainly a relief.
Your next blog will probably have lots of great photos of all the neat places you will visit.
LOVE MOM Miss you XXX
