5K Run at Wadi Digla
This past weekend, the family went out to Wadi Digla in the Sahara Desert for a 5K run sponsored by Cairo American College. We had fun hiking up the canyon to the race site, and the girls had fun exploring in the desert for shells and rocks. Katie enjoyed looking at birds.
Here are some pictures:
