Talking About a Revolution

I've just returned from Tahrir Square! And WOW, what an amazing experience. Despite being a writer, words fail me. So I'll show you in photos instead.

Egyptian flags clog the air in Tahrir Square.

Me! The slogan on the wall behind me says: 'You can kill me but you can't kill my voice.'

An effigy in the square.

Mr TR waves a flag.

A young revolutionary.

Students sing and dance on a wall built by the military.
Excuse me while I go take my post-revolutionary shower! Happy Wednesday, everyone.

  8. I love the pictures, Talli. I see that you were *modestly* coiffed. The graffiti says it all, once spoken, you rarely can silence the voice.

    Mr. TR looks all macho and tough, lol!

    Sounds like you had a good time, though. You'll have to share some fun things you did with us. :-)

  35. Talli: From all the radio reports here in the U.S. it sounds like a very fluid, dangerous place that is slowly turning around. Thanks for sharing the photos. It's a great way for the rest of us to feel like we were with you on your trip! :)
