The streets of Cairo

Like many cities, Cairo's streets have many colours.
The glow on the fruit-seller's face is not mythical, it's just from the car window.
This is where you buy birds. Some have escaped, including some unexpected turkeys.
In Cairo they sell sculptures made from local limestone, including mushrooms and the lesser-known white flamingo.
The fashions from the market didn't match what we saw people wearing.
Some fabrics seemed out of context in the desert.
Shisha pipes everywhere.
The cotton candy was very fancy, and made with real Egyptian cotton, very instagrammable.
There was some Engrish. Child's face blurred in case he learns English and can facial recognition search himself in the future.
We ate gadrice and kofta wiggly.
The best streetfood was kushary, which is a bowl of at least 5 carbs: rice, lentils, chickpeas, macaronia and noodles, with tomato sauce, hotsauce and vinegar.
It was delicious, Barry's favourite!
