After the mosque and church, we visited the old Cairo bazaar where most people thought we were Spanish or Italian. I guess we no longer look American. It was ok when Cindy would say “American”, the vendors all said “You are welcome here.” After that, we went to the Museum of Antiquities. We saw lots of Tutankhamen artifacts. His was the only intact pyramid ever found in Egypt. It was found at Karnak near Luxor. We saw several royal mummies and lots of stone sculptures. We had lunch at Felfela and had authentic Egyptian food. We had fava beans that were basically refried beans, a fried taamia dish and veggies. After we were done with lunch, we watched a black cat come waltzing out of the kitchen. We wonder what was disguised in our food. At least we did not order the Pigeon that was also on the menu. For dinner, we ate Mexican food after taking our lives in our hands to cross a busy roundabout. Since we are writing this, we must have made it safely. This town has traffic like a cross of Biejing and Delhi. Crazy!
