Friday, Last Day...

In Cairo, and Egypt all together. We have plans to hopefully catch a film at the Cairo International Film Festival though it's hard to figure out which films have translations and where they are all across the city. We might go to Coptic Cairo, hang out with Annika later and just take it easy before we head out of the city at 4 a.m. (kid you not.)

Our night train from Luxor, having decided that the sleeping car wasn't worth it, was a second class Egyptian train... noisy, cold (our door was broken) and smoky, we got just about as much sleep as could be expected. Yesterday we went to the modern Egyptian art museums (great!) and a gallery that had been closed the last time we were there.

Tired of falafal, kushari, mezza, and other Egyptian food and went to a fancy pants restaurant and had things like pasta, burgers and salads. Without a kitchen - it's hard to diversify your menu. How spoiled we are, in so many ways, to have so much access to so many varieties of foo at home...

Off to spend just a little more time with Egypt...
