At Cairo International

After an amazing 3 weeks in Egypt, we are now at the airport about to leave for Amman. Yesterday we had a great day touring around Cairo with May and Ayman, followed by another nice evening with Catherine. A highlight from the day was the Khan al Halili market - a bustling, crazy and fun place. Two of my favourite comments were from the exuberant shopkeepers, outside their shops hustling their wares. The first was "I don't know what you are looking for, but I have it! Come in come in!!", to which we burst out laughing; the second was when Taylor and I were stopped, admiring the wall of one of the buildings in the market that was built with a lovely blue marble, and the shopkeeper across the alley said "You like?? You like? I give you good price!"... Not only the shirts off their back but the walls off their buildings...
