Woke up after around 5pm after our long trek up Sinai. Took a shower and went downstairs. Everyone woke up and rolled out of bed one by one and we slowly congregated at the café. By Six we were all downstairs and ravenous.
We decided that Thai/Indian sounded really good and had heard of a place down by Eel Garden where it was supposed to be both reasonable and delicious. Turns out that the Blue House (the restaurant recommended to us by Ryan/Torrie) was closed for renovations…. So we headed back towards the commercial area to check out another Indian/Thai/Chinese place called The Kitchen. We got there and took a quick look at the menu and decided that it was a bit out of our price range. Kinda bummed about this because I really wanted some Indian. However, I wasn’t one to go against the group.
We decided that we would go to King Chicken again. Got the quarter chicken again. For 15 pounds (3 dollars) you really can’t go wrong. This meal really reminds me of what we were eating at iftar in Cairo. Chicken, rice, beans, salad, bean soup, and flat bread. All walked away sufficiently stuffed.
We made our way slowly back to the Jasmine. Ben called Jake and told them to head our way when they had the chance. They eventually made their way over with the addition of three more members. Ally, Gina, and Henry. Gina and Ally are roommates in Cairo. Both sophomores from the East Coast. Henry is a Senior from UCLA and is in my Formal Arabic classes. You may remember him from earlier stories.
Anyways the now expanded group shared a few beers and played some cards for a few hours. Shortly after midnight we decided to split and head back to our respective hotels. Ben, Mike, and I went upstairs and watched a few episodes of Always Sunny. Evan and Jesse went for a walk, and Cyndis went to bed.
After a few episodes all of us were getting droopy eyed and one by one fell asleep.
