Looking out across Raml square to the open sea behind there. And yeah, my first impression of Alexandria was that it's not really a clean city. They had garbage cans everywhere, but they were over-flowing, maybe a feature of the post-revolution times, where government workers cared less now that authority had been usurped.

We were starving and I got us some chicken shawarma sandwiches (like gyros). This is stacks of meat roasted on a turning spit by a fire lamp that is shaved off in thin slices and wrapped in pita or a sandwich bun.

Ready to roll as it got dark. Yeah, we realized that we parked right in front of the KFC, yuck.

...little sandwiches of falafel and fuul along with roasted aubergines (eggplant/brinjal).

The friendly faces at GAD, an Egyptian fastfood chain serving up...

...lots and lots of stray cats. This kitty was just sitting on a busy sidewalk and not perturbed a bit by the nearby stomps.

We met up with my CS host, Manuel (on the left) and I asked him if it was ok to bring along these two Dutch bikers, which was cool with him. Manuel is a French engineer, who's working here for a company that produces roofing material.

Meals on wheels and hooves.
