best laid plans

I really did anticipate being awake before 3pm today; really I did.  Unfortunately, jetlag + sleep deprivation all last week = wake up at 3pm.  So I did very little today.  I attempted to go to Coptic Cairo, but any of the stuff I would have wanted to see was closed, so my metro ride was a bit of a bust (although the Cairo metro is surprisingly nice and efficient).

Then I came back to my neighborhood and took the five minute walk to get to the Corniche (the road next to the Nile), which I proceeded to walk down.  Here are the rather paltry photos from what I did.  I have promised myself to be awake by 10 tomorrow.

Directly outside the Mari Girgis metro station.

The Coptic Museum.

A really important river.

Orange boats traverse this river.

More river.  I think there are triangle-y things in the background of this photo.

My neighborhood is pretty, and people fish in it.

I believe these triangle-y things are the really famous triangle-y things at Giza.
