We were really lucky this afternoon because we had some free time and asked to drive around downtown Cairo. We found the old colonial neighborhood that was lovingly written about in the memoir "The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit". We think we found the synagogue that LouLou prayed in with her dad. Our guide helped us talk our way in -- our passports were checked at the door by the police, and we had a really special time inside. No pictures -- unless of course you are willing to pay someone something -- we did and here they are... The place was really quite beautiful.
