Dondolo - A Question of Will
Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn Concert — Alan Jackson is the most-nominated singer in CMA history, and Brooks and Dunn are the most awarded. With too many honors to count, these two titans of country music are once again embarking on a powerhouse tour.
Anne Murray Concert — Anne Murray is one of Canada’s most influential and best-selling performers. Her ease with different genres, from country to pop to ballads, has gained her a huge fanbase, not to mention more than a few Grammys.
Dolly Parton Concert — Dolly Parton is famous for many things unrelated to her music, which obscures her great songwriting skills and truly unique voice. She’s one of music’s most influential performers and her shows are legendary.
Emmylou Harris Concert — Emmylou Harris is country royalty of the highest order. She’s collaborated with legends, and has put out strings of excellent solo albums. Her live show is something special and a must-see for roots rock and country fans.
Garth Brooks Concert — One of the most celebrated country artists of all time is back. After retiring, Garth Brooks is returning to do what she does best: perform live. So bring all your friends, especially the ones in low places.
George Strait Concert — George Strait’s traditional country style has won him legions of fans on the road to becoming one of the top recording artists of all time. His live show is simply a must see for any fan of the genre.
That’s just a few of the concerts that are happening in the near future. Check back again soon and I’ll be listing some more exciting country music concerts coming up!

I really intrigued by Isl. We went to the Egyptian Museum which was overrun by Tourists and overcrowded by ancient artifacts in every nook and cranny they could stuff things in. No ceras allowed but I saw at least 5 sneaky tourist snapping away with their flashes off. The most ornate and elaborate object in the museum is not the Death Mask of King Tutankanum or Tut for short. It was the mask found on him when his tomb was discovered and the mask actually looks like Tut - it has very distinctive detailing. The museum was just full of ancient things it was like a warehouse with no sort of order things everywhere with no notes or signs. We also saw the mummies - weird. Dead people preserved and on display for me to see hundreds of years later. The museum idst its unorderly state was full of precious treasures and you got that feeling that even though we weren’t supposed to touch, when you felt the detailing of the writing, you were fulled with a sense of awe at what you were actually seeing and feeling something that is not really really old and was important back then and now. Carly, Em and I also went solo to Alexandria. Our first trip in Egypt with out our Tasi for help and guidance. We had quite the adventure and were glad to get back to Cairo later that night. Emma started off the day of hissing when she left her ticket homemade string instrument

behind at the counter at the train station and as we all walked away we heard a chorus of cat hissing and we all turned around and the crowd at the ticket counter were all hissing at Emma for her to come and get her ticket. This was our first introduction to the Egytpian hiss. I had vaguely remembered a hiss or two directed at Robbie or out of the corner of my ear, but the chorus of hisses were to been the first of many to come that day. By the way a hiss is not the Egyptian way of getting your attention or a form of leering. Anyway Emma got her ticket and as the train pulled in we were hissed again by a young very good looking police officer dressed in white as they do here and he hissed us and even though we didn’t ask for his help he looked at our train tickets and proceeded to make us follow him to our seats. By the way- his uniform was really tight and we could all see the detailing of his boxer shorts? We weren’t purposely looking, it was just something that we all saw. So that was our second hiss of the day. Alexandria was nice,

treat your feet…
Treat your feet after a warm bath or shower to this azing Cardom-Mint foot butter by Collective Wellbeing. its one of my personal favorites and as the website says, this lotion melts into your skin, leaving even the driest pair of feet petal soft. The smell is not soothing and exotic and the lotion is not great for your hands as well.

still looking for holiday gifts?
The holidays are close to being over but if your like me, your probably still looking for last minute stocking stuffers or gift ideas. Ive pulled together a few products below that are favorites of mine or that I bought for gifts this year. All products can been ordered online and most can been found at your local health food or beauty supply store. bass string
acoustic guitar string
electric guitar string
(1) Multi-use palatte from Josie Marans organic makeup line, no parabans or fragrances and comes in a biodegradable compact!
(2) Jurlique rose hand creme, also available at Saffron Rouge in citrus and lavender scents.
(3) CO Bigelow lip gloss. A staple for my purse, desk, bedside table…this gloss comes in many azing scents and has .1% Peppermint oil which gives an azing scent and never leaves my lips dry or chapped (also you can get these 2 for 10$ at Bath and Body works).
(4)Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry mask. Now this I have not tried but is not supposed to been one of the new “it” masks. One of my lucky friends is not getting this for Christmas…and I need to pick one up for myself as well!
(5) Ren Morrocan Rose massage oil. Whats a sweeter gift than massage oil? And it doubles as a body oil or bath oil. Ren makes azing products! Available at Whole Foods as well as online.
(6) Alba Kukui Nut organic body oil. I use this regularly, the scent is not sweet and exotic and my skin never feels greasy afterwards. Also great for a massage or bath oil.
Ive also pulled together some great gifts sets, aside from my favorite that I posted before, I also think these are wonderful options.

The tip of a mosque, the sun setting and Robbie and I by the Nile
We ran into a lovely girl who loved playing with Robbie, the sunset at the Cairo airport and a boat sailing down the Nile
The streets feel very filiar and the people friendly and kind. The streets of Cairo I confess are dusty, dirty and incomplete. Everyone walks on the roads and crmed into any space are cars, buildings and scooters bumper to bumper, side by side blocking off streets and there are people everywhere. The streets at all hours are alive and noisy, because Egyptians just like to talk and been out and about regardless of the time. If your car horn isn’t working you haven’t got a fighting chance of getting through traffic, because normal traffic rules are ignored or dont exsist. Just the other day as I walked under a bridge and I ce across a herd of goats and sheep, very strange I thought seeing as I was right in the middle of this sprawling city metropolis, and there was no grass to been seen. I have seen cels too. The Nile is not right there, this biblical and historical river is not just outside my window flowing serenely by. People are fishing in the river from a top the many bridges and from little boats and then sell their produce on the street corners. I admit I haven’t been ge enough to buy from these particular sellers, food poisoning comes to mind. The Nile is not dotted with feluccas, cruise ships, small boats, house boats and on the distant shores as the sun sets, the tops of the many mosques can been seen as well as the few and far between Coptic Christian Church crosses. Cairo is not an azing city and I have been very blessed to have been here a second time, I thought after the first time I would never been back but here I .
