A short post to let everyone that reads my blog know that I am safe and sound (as much as usual at least).

As Ledi wrote and Jacques-Alexandre confirmed thanks to Karim, I left Cairo Monday morning to go to Al-Bahareyya, an oasis of the western desert. I was then more than 1000 kms away from Dahab when the bombing happened.

One thing is that I did not learn about the bombing before Tuesday morning from an Italian diplomat that was vacationing there too and another thing is that I had no way to call or access internet from there.

I came back in Cairo 1 hour ago and am still learning about what happened. I will react about that as well as report about my trip in the desert later. 

Thanks for all the comments and private emails everybody sent me. It was very heartwarming to read all of them.
