Back to Cairo

We arrived back at Shady and Kait's apartment about 7:30 this evening after a short taxi ride from the bus station. We were on the "Super Jet" from Hurghada, a 6 hour ride in a bus that really was like being on an airplane---even got a little snack box served to us. It was very comfortable and we traveled along the coast of the Red Sea for all but the last hour of the trip. Since we only had a snack box on the bus we were all very hungry when we hit Cairo. Shady got out the large notebook they keep of food places--all who deliver. That means every pizza, fast food and chain restaurant you can think of from the USA plus more. We decided on KFC and Dominos Pizza, both were here within 40 minutes. They deliver on bike and don't seem to mind the 5 flights of stairs up to the apartment, with a tip of course. The food tasted just like home, we have been eating primarily Egyptian food, so we don't feel we aren't getting the experience by an occasional meal from home.

Mike and Shady are going to go out to the grocery store in a few minutes to get some ingredients for my baking projects tomorrow. Kait and Shady are going to work so I volunteered to make chocolate chip cookies and bran muffins, so far Kait said she has not been able to find brown sugar, anyone know of a substitute? I brought chocolate chips from home, should have brought the brown sugar too.
