I really love a lot of them, and I was very excited to open Hamaki because our friend said it was his favorite. Imagine my disappointment when there was no CD inside the case!! I went out to the lobby and he tried to call Diwa but no one was picking up (it was about 6:30 and he thought they might all be breaking the fast still, so he told me to come back in 15 minutes). I went out a bit later and there was a new guy working at the front desk. I explained what happened and noticed on my bill that there was a delivery service listed. I asked him if he would ask them just to deliver my CDs. They said they couldn’t because I bought the CDs in person, so I had to come in that night to get it if I wanted it (because they close on Sundays).
We had a pizza at Pizza Hut and took another cab over. I got my CD without a hassle and ended up picking up a few more. I’d played my Ah Wa Nos CD so much it had scratches so for $7 I figured a new one was a steal. They also had a new CD of hers singing with kids so I got that too. I love me some Nancy!!
Our cab back tried to drop us off at Midan Abdel Moniem Riad and told us it was Taalat Harb. I’ve never had that happen in any other cab I said no told him to keep driving. I’m really glad I’ve paid attention to maps and learned a bit of my way around. If I don’t know where I’m going I usually cut the map out of our tour book and carry the page with me so that I can follow along as the driver is driving.

Our last day in Cairo!! I can’t believe a month has passed so quickly!! I’ve been mentioning it all month but my partner didn’t agree until yesterday-we are going for a month in Turkey next year!!! I am so excited!!!
Back to Cairo-we got up this morning and headed to the Mahmoud Mokhtar Museum. He designed the Mother of Egypt statue outside the Cairo Zoo. He died when he was about 40 but was really prolific. His Isis statue was my favorite. There are pieces inside a building and outside in the gardens.
