Yesterday morning I arrived back to Egypt after nearly a month in Central Asia - what a trip! It was the first time I ever visit the Stans. I spent about three weeks in Uzbekistan and one week in Kyrgyzstan. I feel incredibly energized and rejuvenated from the culture, nature, and novelty I was able to soak in the past four weeks.
My brother, my sister-in-law, and my nephews just moved back from Canada about a week ago, and they're living with us for the next little while. It had been just over six months since I saw my nephews, and the bulk of the day was spent building sand castles with them, watching them being silly, and having dinner with the family by the pool.
