Today we spent most of the day on the campus of Cairo American College,
the international K-12 school where Curtis will be in the fifth grade.
It is quite a campus, occupying a large city block, and containing many
modern class room buildings, library, gym, pool, fields, etc.
The contrast of the facilities
of this private school to the shoestring public schools back in Oregon is
rather depressing. Curtis should have a great time here, and the playing
fields and track make for one of the larger green spaces in Maadi.
We went back later in the day to spend some time in the pool, a fringe
benefit of being CAC parents.
