Farewell Dinner

Here we are eating our final meal as coco laru. We are munching on some of the finest italian food this side of mediterranean. Today we went to Al-Manzar, a landfill park across the highway from the City of the Dead. It was pleasant park with spectacular views of cairo. And then we went to the city of the dead which has mausoleums and a lot of squaters. We didn't stay long because we definitely felt out of place. Now we've just finished a plate full of sweets and are saying our farewells. Boo and Jo leave at 11:15pm for the airport for 2:20am flight to paris. They have a 8 hour stay in paris and then its on to Detroit. I leave tomorrow at 8:40am for london (with my box breakfest) and I arrive in beantown at 6:40pm. The Lacos leave tomorrow evening for amman where they will spend a night before heading onto chicago. Overall, it was a good trip to egypt with one lesson learned while in the doldrums of nile: "sometimes it's hard to be a lacoco." (Or maybe we knew that already.) Look for photos in the near future and keep us posted on what blogs we should be reading. Sara
