We've been looking fwd to that weekend, after being busy at school with the children, plus planning etc. It was nice to be with people, get some time off, relax.. talk, enjoy the nature ...
Anafora is a retreat center - it has a Coptic church there and everybody who works there is a christian - that is surprising, as Egypt is a muslim country; i have to admit it was nice to spend time in that quiet atmosphere. I think i saw more unveiled women in the 2 days that i spent there than in the whole month spent in Cairo.
Anafora has its own farm with cows and sheep, they make soap and some other things.
We had a beautiful room, very bedouin style, with a mosquito net that made me feel like a princess. 
There is a nice swimming pool as well - i really enjoyed that!!! We had Barnaby bear with us in Anafora - he's part of my class, so he had to join me on this trip.
Nichole was saying she could live there; there are even corn fields - that reminds her of home!! no doubt she'd love to live there. i guess it is a nice place to go and relax, as it is far from the pollution and noise of Cairo, but i still preffer the city. I would get bored there!!
Apparently, it costs only 50 LE/day there with 3 meals included (buffet style). There was plenty of food - Egyptian food (not my favorite, but i have to admit i like it - i am not crazy about it, but it's ok). Anafora is a nice place to go and relax if you like peace and quietness etc.
