For Curtis' birthday, we dragged him to the final day of the orientation
talks. However, I had downloaded one of his favorite games on my computer,
so it wasn't too bad for him. Lunch was at a popular place near AUC and
consisted of a large variety of Egyptian dishes.
The group sang Happy Birthday, and
then the waiters sang it in Arabic (or so we think). When we got home,
Curtis had his favorite cake made from a mix that dear Mom had brought
with us, along with candles. Now that's planning.
