Morning Walk in Mohandessin

Continuing with the revival of relapsed resolutions, I finally managed to go for a nice refreshing walk in the morning! I had set the alarm on my phone as I usually do. But today I could not snooze it and get back under the covers as I had to search for my phone and was fully awake by the time i located it
I cud have jogged too, but then did not want to overdo it on the very first day and exhaust myself. The one-hour power walk was probably a better option than than a quick burn-out!

Mohandessin, the posh residential area where we live, is quite a place. I discovered a whole lot of things about the place I have been living for 5 months now. I have been to the pyramids more times than i had gone to the park near our house! The ever busy city was actually least active at 7:30 AM. It was a nice feeling, with the sun just beginning to warm the troposphere, the traffic flow yet to start, people yet to start clogging the streets!

There I was, breathing in the air that for once was not loaded with the repulsive smell of cigarette smoke and felt alive! I hope I would make it every day!
