Yay Egypt!

Yesterday Egypt won the African Cup!!!! The streets of Cairo were full of celebration. Girls with their faces painted like an Egyptian flag. Boys hanging out of car windows and trunks yelling, waving flags, and cheering for their country. Cars zooming down the road, or crawling in traffic, with a constant beeeep-beeeep-beep-beep-beep (which is car speak for "Egypt won!"). Traffic police responding to the cars with tweeeet-tweeeet-tweet-tweet-tweet on their whistles. Men standing on the side of the road banging metal barrels and calling out cheers. Everyone smiling. No one with a thing on their mind except for their victory. What a great night to be here. Congratulations Egypt!
