Day 2

Took a long taxi ride into the middle of nowhere to the camel market. Rather depressing in the end, lots of whacking with sticks and animal abuse. Still fun to wander through and photograph. Still really bummed the lab basically screwed over 90% of my color film. But here's some salvageable things.










































Are you sure about that?





























This is Abdula who took us to the Egyptian museum. He got way pissed when we said no to his restaurant suggestion which was a tourist trap. In response he stopped talking to us, drove twice as fast, and almost ran over two young girls.












The museum was really cool but no photos alowed. Tonsssssss of old papyrus with drawings/writings on it that was amazing to see. Also some crazy animal mummies, a huge 20 ft. alligator one, lots of cats, and a hippo... More interesting after this day, and they should be up a lot faster since I have everything scanned now.
