Going Dark

The wedding was fabulous. I can't tell you how much I LOVED performing the wedding for two very good friends - possibly the most compatible couple we've ever met. It's going to be a great marriage.

After the ceremony which was a very simple and elegant affair, in the St John's church building, the reception was held on their appartment building rooftop, which has a pool and fantastic views over Cairo. As the sun set we ate and drank and the dancing was just getting going as we left the scene to come home for our final preparations for Italy.

So we've just got maybe another half hour of work to do and then we'll hit the sack for maybe three hours before we get up at 2am to catch our 4:30am flight to Rome. Here's the place we'll call home for the next week. We'll be living in this house...

Which is in this castle...

Pray for us as we suffer.

So jafferblog will be going dark for a week, and I'll see you on the other side when we get to the UK. Pork and Beer are calling me.

We so missed not being at Santa Giuliana this year but so glad the senior Jaffers enjoyed it. M&S

Hi Mark. I'm Lauren and I found your posting on caniwearjeans? My husband and I are going to be in Cairo for 3 months this fall and hope to come to a service at your church. We are just beginning to read up on Cairo. Can you tell me where your church is in relationship to the U.S. Embassy? Any other helpful hints for some short-term ex-pats greatly appreciated! You can reply on my blog or email at f-r-a-u-l-i-m-o-n-"at"-g-m-a-i-l-"dot"-c-o-m (no dashes, of course). Thanks!
