Aswan, Egypt



We haven't explored Aswan too much mainly because of the heat. Right now I'm sitting in my air conditioned room of 72 degrees because outside it's 104. We did walk around the As-souq an-Nil last night and this morning. I have to say the feeling of the streets are so much nicer than the craziness of Cairo. Using our guide book we set out for some lunch before the heat was too much. After three unsuccessful tries due to unlabeled streets or closed for restoration signs we walked back to the As-souq. We passed some butcher shops, bakeries, and spice stores and found a hidden jem. I forget the name but it looked like a hole in the wall in the back of an ally way. We got falafel meals with lemon juice and sprite. which turned out to be amazingly good. bread with light dipping sauce, tomato-cucumber-pepper salad, rice, vegetable stew and then our main dish. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yes i take pictures of food.
