9/16
Traffic was busy today for the first time in a few days, I'm not sure if everyone is "over" Ramadan or if it was just a fluke. Either way it took a little longer to get to Mme. Raqia’s today. I always try to look like I know where I'm going when I'm out alone (and I usually do). I put on my "bar face" when I'm out-expression neutral, eyes down but still able to take things in. And I never react to anything anyone says to me.
We finished a minute and forty-five seconds today. It’s the most I’ve done in a day ever (we usually only do 30 seconds-because I'm such a slow learner). We just have the finale to work on now (there’s about a minute left in the song). I’m pretty happy with myself. I would bake myself cookies if I could! She said everything is beautiful, but I need to work on my hands with the new parts. I thought Egyptian belly dance featured really plain hand work, but she does a lot with her hands.
She left at around 11:45 and I left a bit after that to go to the grocery store near her place. I made a plan with my partner that he could go out wandering in the morning and we’d meet in the evening. He left me a note in the room saying he was heading to Old Cairo to check it out some more.
I’m going to hop on the net and post these last few entries and then answer the rest of my interview questions for the paper.
