As we stepped off the bus into Cairo's East Delta Bus station, we were accosted by taxi drivers eager to take advantage of weary passengers. We ignored them at first, stepped around them to get our luggage... and then negotiated. One man claimed that we were 12km from home and quoted an exorbitant price. We walked away and climbed into a different cab, which got us home in 5 minutes.
Back to the swindlers. Back to the smog and the traffic and the crowds. Back to the work, with no water in sight...
Ah, home sweet home.

Hey,how come no water? There is a drought situation in Georgia. Are you facing the same too. Nate, where are my pictures? I am waiting....
By no water, I meant no peaceful sound of the sea lapping at our feet.
