Day 12 West Nile Virus or something like that, Al-Khan Kalili Market
Did I drink Nile water or what. The morning started... On the pot at 6AM and then back in bed until 9AM. We decide to got to the hotel breakfast that last for me about 3 minutes. 1 minute to walk down to the restaurant, 1 minute to get my food and 1 minute to run back up to the room to go back to the porcelain palace that I would call home until lunch. Ok so I felt marginally well and was ready to try to get back to normal. We are in Egypt no time to waste right. During one of our taxi rides Grace saw a music store a few block from the hotel and wanted to return to this area an find it. We set off walking and found the store about 1/2 mile from the hotel. As Kyle and I waited outside the store we saw a 31 flavors ice cream shop. I figured ice cream would be a good starter for the old stomach. It felt really good going down and I figured I was out of the woods, so once Grace was done with the music store we decided to go to KFC or better known in Egypt as Kentucky Fried Camel. One smell of the food sent me to the restroom and in Egypt that is enough to make you sick with out the vile Nile (or whatever I had). I returned as whiter than sheet and thought I'm going to pass out here in KFC and wake up in an Egyptian hospital. I did a controlled dive into the nearest bench seat and rolled over like a dead cockroach. I'm sure the KFC staff did not know what was going on or what to do. After 30 minute Grace and the kids collected me and we walked back to the hotel. I spend the remainder of the day back in bed or at the porcelain palace. Grace and the kids evacuated to the other room until my recovery at about 5PM. They were chanting Khan Kalili, Khan Kalili. Back to the Market for more shopping.
As we drove back from Kalili Market we came across this big bill board. . Check out what kind milk they are selling.
