The Wadi

There is a dry riverbed, called a wadi, in Maadi. The area is a national protectorate, and there are running trails, nature info, etc. there. It's about a 10 minute taxi ride from our house. Jason went there a few weeks ago on a school field trip and decided we should take a little family field trip. We went one Saturday morning at around 8:00 AM--if you wait much later it gets too hot. Jason wanted Luke to be able to climb all he wanted to, and climb we did! We walked along the top ridge of the canyon until I got a little freaked out and afraid Luke would fall. Then we scooted back down to the wadi. I found a quiet place to sit for a while and Jason and Luke climbed a little more. Afterwards, we went to Jared's Bagels and had breakfast. It was a fun morning!
