Bayt-na, fee al'nos al'sharia

The 18th was rather uneventful. It was unfortunately the day Miguel and I moved from the Flamenco to Longchamps. We wished our room a sad farewell only to discover we had somehow gotten an even more beautiful room at Longchamps. Once again with a nice balcony and its even bigger with a much nicer bathroom (the beds are still oddly pushed together). The Egyptian gods must favor Miggy and I or something. We also finally discovered this wonderful Falafel place right near us. 2 Egyptian Pounds for a falafel, less than twenty cents, and you can put fries in it too. Beautiful. A group of us went to an epic place called Bora Bora, right along the Nile. Cailtin and I shared Penne Arabiata and it was easily the best meal I'd had in Cairo. The live dj was a nice touch but the bathrooms were utterly sketchy.

Miguel, Caitlin, and I went to the Egyptian Museum today. It was nice to just walk through it and bask in the ancientness, plus, animal mummies. We took a cab for the first time which was fun. And then, at night, instead of Suffi dancers, because it got all sold out, we chilled in a cool marketplace area.

Phrase of the day - Bayte-na fee al'nos al'sharia - Our house in the middle the street
