after orientation, I went with Erin and Selena to the old market khan el khalili. Hot and crowded, the market winds through narrow streets, and is organized by section: there is one for belly dancing costumes, one for metal smithing, one for meat, etc.
Tonight we went on a felucca ride. Feluccas are little sailboats on the nile that seat perhaps twenty people. While the Cairo skyline isn't quite beautiful, it is vibrant, active, and alive. The city is so "in your face" that you live and breath it every day. Today I met an expat who has lived here all her life, and she told me she is from everywhere but here, but this is her home.
