More Cab Craziness in Cairo

I was in a cab today, talking animatedly on the phone, when I confused my friend with my exclamations..."WHOA, we are going the wrong way down a three lane one-way street! I'm gonna die and go to heaven, and all my problems will be over!" It took her awhile to realize that I wasn't speaking metaphorically - we were actually the one car going the wrong way down a three lane, one-way street. Fast forward 10 minutes: I'm still on the phone, we are stuck in traffic, traffic starts moving. We don't start moving. We keep sitting. And sitting. And then I realized the cab driver was asleep. Truly. This happened. I woke him up, and we were on our way. He had told me earlier that the sun made him sleepy. Guess he was telling the truth.
