Cairo Time

After a long day's travel I've arrived in Cairo safe and sound and tired as you'd imagine. So far all we've done is check into the hotel and meet some of Noha's friends for dinner. We're at the Cairo Sheraton so we're not hurting for comfort. The city is hazy like I wouldn't believe - it's smoggy but I think a lot of it is sand that literally strips away the exteriors of buildings that aren't made of super hard stone. Other than that, I seem to not be as overwhelmed by chaos as the locals expect from Americans. The driving is no crazier than Buenos Aires. Tomorrow when we're less travel-weary and jet-lagged, we'll go sight-seeing. Pyramids and all that good stuff that one does when in Egypt.
