...Lucille's customers are Egyptians, who appreciate that she makes a point of not serving alcohol or pork and observing halal meat-slaughtering practices. "I haven't tried burgers in the U.S., but this is the best one in Egypt," Randy Banna, a 25-year-old Cairene, agreed when I leaned over from my table to ask how he liked his cheeseburger. "It's not fast-food, where they cook it fast and you eat it fast. Here it's totally different."

But it’s disorienting to realize that the life I've come to know so well—of classes, flexible scheduling, and best of all, prepared meals—will eventually be replaced with the life I'm variously experiencing this summer.
