falling elevator...

This afternoon, Eliza was heading up to the apartment. She got in the elevator on the lobby level, and it went up about a floor, and then fell to the basement. She was fine, though shaken up, and her back was sore. I've vowed to take no more elevators in Egypt, and our bawwab is offended. He can't understand why I won't trust him that his elevator is safe. I give him the "uhhhh huuuuuh." look, and he puts his hand to his heart, showing how much it pains him that we use the stairs now.
