is the first day of Ramadan and when in doubt we re-visit the Coptic Quarter with Shaabi just for today, well, yesterday in the Khalili told us that we were not because everything would be closed and only open up the coffee from seven o'clock in the afternoon, so we decided to devote the morning to the afternoon sightseeing and the corniche ...
If we thought yesterday was something like our Christmas Eve, we were wrong. Our visit almost daily to the grocery store shows that TODAY is the big day: the super is on top, everyone buying here and there, there are special Coca-cola and something to cooking that I can not identify ...

Leaving the hotel before the seven is not an option and my teacher confirms this: he has come from his home in a taxi (which he hopes to restore peace to your home) and the streets are almost empty .. he said the seven will only hear one sound: that of the spoons and the holders against the plate. So we decided to stop napping and get to the bar to have our particular afternoon mai-mai (and, it is crazy) made of beer and good humor. visit to the corniche is not very successful: virtually no one in a place that is usually crowded, so we decided to dine at one of the boats anchored at the shore and walk back to the hotel: there are almost no cars, no beeps silence becomes even odd .. Cairo never seen so and if I get to say before today, I would not have believed ...
