After a pretty full Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday was a chill day. We slept in and enjoyed a leisurely morning around the house, then we headed to the gym at CSA. Even the intensely air-conditioned gyms get toasty in the Cairo heat, and Wednesday was pretty killer. We looked about like we jumped in the swimming pool! But showers and lunch revived us, and then we ventured down to the metro and rode to Rd 9. Egypt has beautiful alabaster, so everyone bought some alabaster souvenirs and gifts, then some of us headed for a cup of coffee and the others meandered through the smattering of gift shops along the road. Eventually we all ended up at Caffe Greco, laughing, chatting, enjoying frappes, lattes, and cappuccinos, and planning our futures. Fun times and special memories.
We had dinner at Spectra, a restaurant I ate at on the day I arrived in Cairo. After dinner we walked back to Rd 9 to buy a movie, and rounded out our relaxing day with popcorn and Leap Year. We chatted into the wee hours of the morning, until everyone was exhausted and fell asleep. Good times.
