Six months ago, I wrote the following statements:
As people around the world marvel at the powerful voice of the millions in Egypt, many of us hope that we are witnessing a transformative change in the region. Time will tell what the future will hold. As I hugged a friend of mine who grew up in Cairo today she said, "tonight I celebrate and tomorrow I will wonder."
Rather than expound on the potential of what this may or may not become, or debate what Obama could or couldn't have done, I would like to simply post some pictures I took when I was in Egypt last year. Please enjoy the pictures that celebrate some of Egypt's beauty and perhaps we can all hope that we are seeing a positive step for democracy and human rights.
