Egypt Day Two- Shopping

Egypt Day Two- Today was the day to go shopping at the famous Khan el-Khalili in Cairo. Imagine your past experiences of shopping in Korea, Mexico waiting to cross the border, and all of the places you have ever shopped for the Holidays. Now add them all together and then multiply them times 1000. That will only begin to scratch the surface of the experience of shopping in the Khan el-Khalili market! At the end of the day I finally told Louise, I just want something to simply be marked with a price so I don't have to haggle for it! And speaking of haggling, you've never haggled for something until you've haggled with Louise! LOL

We also had the opportunity to stop by the El Fishawy Coffee House. It was amazing that we ever found it in the market, because everyone we asked gave us different directions! The El Fishawy Coffee House has been open 7 days a week, 24 hours a days for over 200 years! It is the oldest coffee house in the world, so Louise and I decided we would stop in for a cup of ...... Diet Pepsi. Go Figure!

After a long day of shopping, Louise and I are off to experience a Feluka.... a small boat that cruises down the Nile. I will let you know all about that tomorrow.....
