Lunch



The food has been delicious so far. A breakfast buffet at the hotel that included fruits, sweets, porridge (millet, oat, barley mix), sausage, etc. For lunch in this restaurant, we had freshly made pita bread, and something like nan (cracker like) with babaganoush, bead spread, and yogurt spread. Chicken kabobs, rice and vegies. And dessert was a plate of fresh fruit.
The afternoon we spent at the Egyptian Museum which house many antiquities, including all of the artifacts from King Tut's tomb. Hundreds of items! Very interesting.
On the way to and fro we see many many unfinished buildings. Gives the appearance of a great level of poverty, or some sort f devastation. However, what we learned was that by having unfinished buildings, owners by pass property taxes. So they only build so far, and when child gets married, they add on, but not finish. You see these buildings all over the areas we have been too in Cairo.
