Me as a baby and my mother during the hot summer. Notice how over dressed I am. A common trait in Egyptian mothers to over dress their children .A fear I'll catch a cold.I wish I had a picture of me on my first day of school in kindergarden. I remember this day well because I was totally embarressed.A skirt with thick wool pants underneath!LOL

12 years old in Alexandria, Egypt,with my aunt and my cousin. My cousin was always asking me to marry him . It was so annoying ...that's the reason for my introspective look.

My mother and friends at a Belly dance night club in New York.  I often tagged along. My mother was often mistaken as a dancer

Me and my little darling.

.My apt in Egypt. A view from my terrace. It's a new complex and I am one of the first tenants and units were still under construction. I would laugh often watching workers chase each other around the complex  yelling because a worker wasn't doing his work properly.

During contract breaks , I often went shopping in Cairo with friends and family
