Sand, smog, shouting-- old buildings with paint chipped off, plaster crumbling, and people teeming like ants on all surfaces. Contrasts: mosques and peace murals guarded by military policy toting AK-47’s; bright glass buildings poking between centuries-old minarets and apartments half-standing; Armani and D&G flash beside and behind hijabs and floor length black gowns; a Mercedes cuts off a cart pulled on oval wheels by a dusty donkey. Cairo—Day 1. I’ve got a lot to process.
