Carpur, Elshalalat Gardens, Friends, Maha, Ahmed, Mohamed, Salma, Belly Dancers

So on Saturday we decided to go back and return some DVD's to Carpur like Samia calls it, so we purchase this Disney DVD's that supposedly were in Arabic, but they turn out to be with subtitles...I was impress we went there and they were so nice they actually open like 5 DVD's to try them out to make sure they were okey...Then after this we went to eat some ice cream and like always Guido and the girls had a blast.

So on Monday once again we went to the Gardens to walk I did not know there are shows there every night for Ramadan I though it was only on Fridays, so yesterday we went to walk and to my surprise they had another show, Samia at the beginning did not want to walk since she was wearing sandals she hates the sand and little rocks inside her shoes.

Not only Samia made friends I have now a couple of friends there, is very nice is for free and as the night goes on you see all the families coming with blankets carpets and food and they sit down and just eat, watch the show and let their kids run wild, is very amazing most of the kids take off their shows on the grass.

Samia even had grownup audience she made friends with a couple of guys in back of us, sat with them took pictures with them.

Oh I should mention everybody takes pictures of her with their mobile, I think I have not seen cameras here everybody is taking pictures with their mobiles is the norm here.
We had a great show. First we had a band just singing very nice voices by the ladies and the gentleman.

Then we had another dance with man from the desert area and a woman alone dancing among them the rhythm was great

From week of 9.14.08

By this time it was almost midnight the girls were tired even SAmia has already sat in the stroller when all of a sudden an older man with a galabeya comes out playing a trumpet like then all of a sudden girl dancers come out and then a two man dress as a horse, the idea of the dance is that as the man plays this trumpets the horse moves to the beat it is amazing I had never seen this Samia was going crazy oh mami hassant....

So when this dance ended we started walking out when all of the sudden a single man came out I had seeing this in Hurghada the last time I came but I knew Samia was definatly going to like this, I am not really sure of the history of this dance but I know it exist, I think it was brought to egypt when the ottaman empire. This man starts sppinnin and spining non stop for about 15 minutes and he plays with those plates and takes more and more out as the time goes and he spins and spins to the music not even stoping once is unveilable you have to see it to capture the greatnes of it.

Gamila has changed so much on this trip. Her hair has gotten longer and you can tell she's doing so much more than when y'all left. Wow. It's seems like you've been gone forever but in a way not because of all the cool updates!
