Landed in Cairo early this morning after an 11 hr flight which was delayed on the JFK tarmac for over an hour. No gluten free meals on the plane, but I managed to pass thru security with all my GF eats. No squash today as we missed our assigned practice court time. Took a nap instead while listening to Egyptian television. Play begins tomorrow and we are up against New Zealand at 11am Cairo time followed by China at 3p. No individual play in this tourney - only team play. This is good as I can't get eliminated in the first round like I did in Colombia. All 19 teams are staying at the hotel with us - USA is seeded 11th but we do have some tough matches in our pool play. Monday is Ireland then we play Italy on Tuesday. Wednesday is a tournament rest day so that's likely the camel/pryamid day. Not sure when I will play, but likely to play in one of tomorrow's matches. Looking forward to getting to the Stadium (where the courts are), having a hit and taking some pictures to post. The only outing I managed today was to a local market (1 block away) with our guide Dina to buy water and bananas (about 20 bananas for a US buck). I didn't whip out my camera. Even though it's a block away, it is not recommended that I go there alone. So, I won't. 20 bananas should last me until Dina comes for us tomorrow! Hope you're all enjoying lots of Thanksgiving leftovers. "Salam" which means goodbye in Egyptian...
