We received word yesterday that the US Embassy of Cairo will be closed on Sunday (we arrive Saturday). They are shutting down the office this day because of scheduled uprising and protests that have been talked about for the last few weeks. Sunday is June 30th and it is the 1 year anniversary of the election of the new president (Morsi). It is not good news to hear but we will just have to be very smart in where we go the first few days of the trip. Before our Honeymoon to Mexico, we heard many talk about the violence there as well. There are issues in all countries (including ours) and we will just need to be smart at all times in where we go and how we approach each situation. However, I will say that the comfort level has definitely changed a little as we prepare for our departure.
If we do need to get out for any reason though, Janell and I are pretty good at leaving countries fast. However, the first time was for a Butler National Championship basketball game...not unrest.
