This year Liz and I had two Easters, the western Christian Easter on April 5, and the orthodox/ Muslim Easter on April 12. The first Easter we realized because we had a chance to get on the Internet and saw lots of pictures of dyed eggs and people wearing dresses on facebook. We celebrated by turning to each other and saying “Oh its Easter... Happy Easter”. The second Easter we celebrated by eating dinner on a roof top restaurant over looking the Nile, which was beautiful, and having a traditional breakfast the next morning of eggs died with hibiscus petals and flaky fateer festival bread and soft white cheese. We tried to explain to Basma what the easter bunny was, which she had never heard of and thought was very strange.
