We planned on shooting again today, and visiting that market again during class. Instead, we ended up having a normal day in the classroom (our only one this week!).
After class, we grabbed lunch together at Hardee's then a few of us went on a little photo shoot around Zamalek, once again. We met up again with Tim, the wedding photographer, after Meg had some camera problems. While she, Tim, and Rob remedied that situation, Maddie, Avery and I went exploring. I wasn't quite prepared for a long excursion, so I ended up getting a little dehydrated, which made me pretty exhausted before too long. I felt like a nuisance, asking to go back, so I stuck it out for a while. It turned out we were all pretty tired by the time we got back. It was hard to shoot around Zamalek, because every third building is an embassy of some sort, and you can't photograph embassies.
We got dinner at a place on the corner called Pottery Cafe. There was free wi-fi there, so the four of us (Meg, Maddie, me and Avery) sat at a table battleship-style with our laptops, finishing papers, editing photos, and surfing the Web. I ordered a veggie pizza which was really good (it had corn, olives, mushrooms, peppers, onions - all good things!). The atmosphere of the place was really relaxed, and it was full of locals smoking shisha. I smell a little from it, but it was a relaxing experience overall. When I ordered my pizza, the waiter said something along the lines of, "but I thought angels didn't need to eat." I thought he said something completely different, because of his accent. I asked him to repeat it so many times, then felt like a total idiot when I finally got it. Whoops.

I love the pictures of the old house and the old door.
