Tea

Meaw Mar 3, 2008

An observation about doing radio interviews in Egypt: They’re constantly interrupted by the call to prayer . . . and the delivery of tea. There’s a knock on the door. In walks someone with a tray. Delicious. And you simply can’t say no. I finally learned to ask for herbal tea in the afternoons so that I could sleep at night.
