"Charlie, where is your other angel?" -Restaurant owner

Guys get a lot of attention in Muslim countries when they walk around with multiple women. In Egypt they generally comment on your multiple wives, but today Ted was referred to as Charlie of Charlie's Angels. If I have the same looks as the girls of Charlie's Angels, I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Especially since today I was looking a little rough. The humidity in the air sent my Egypt dry hair into electric type shock...lol.

The day started with us headed in the direction of our destination, only to be stopped by a military band. It was awesome. They played songs that sounded like they were from Aladdin. They were wearing cool costumes too. Mika wanted to be in the red suit, Ted in blue, and me in green of course. The green guys pants were really weird though. It looked like a dirty diaper...lol. The good news, they all had SUPER cool hats.

We went shopping today, which was surprisingly not stressful. While we did get hassled from time to time, it was a far cry from the complete harassment of Khan al-Khalili in Egypt. I am obviously Spanish. Today solidified it. I would say at least 1/3 of the shops started talking to me in Spanish. I really don't think this is an exaggeration. Let me just tell you another tactic that will NEVER work. Telling me I am pretty, even though I'm short. If you want my business, you better at least comment on my beautiful eyes or something. Pointing out my obvious flaws is not helping your case at all.

I also started my quest to learn chess today. We sat in a cafe, drank tea, and I lost to Ted in chess. I may have lost twice, but I learned a lot. I figure if I'm going to claim to be intelligent, I should be able to play nerdy games like chess. Plus I got a really nice chess set...originally for my boyfriend, but it is so cool, he is going to have to share....don't worry, I already let him know. We also went to a spice bazaar. It was really cool, lots of cheese, fish, and spices. I know, weird that they would have spices. We bought some Turkish delights...a little weird if you ask me.

Tomorrow we are going to another palace and a military museum. We are pretty pumped. Then we are going to eat dinner at the place that has the biggest bread ever! I drool over the bread everytime I pass by, yesterday the guy outside caught me and told me if I ate there, I could have some, so we are going tomorrow. Mom, you should be jealous...I will take a picture. Got to get to bed to prepare for tomorrow. Happy Wednesday!
