To day I give the content of the blog to Eagle. I met him in the hotel and we went off together. Here is story of the day. The chcolate I bring  from home makes him writing….  You know the chocolate movie with Juliette Binoche!

We are sitting at an outdoor café in Cairo.  Anne wants to photograph a group of young local girls as they interact.  So we sit drinking coffee and tea while they get used to our sitting at the next table.  While we are waiting a young shoeshine boy comes up and wants to shine my shoes.  Anne reaches for her camera and the boy wants to run but he is hungry for the work and I distract him.  Anne pretends to shoot pictures of the girls while taking photos of the shoeshine boy (sneaky woman).  The shoeshine boy has a good heart; it shows in his earnest smile has he works while doing a good job of it.  While he is working, two older men starting looking over Anne’s shoulder at the screen of her camera to see what pictures she has taken.  Anne then follows them back into their shop where they are hand-binding booklets in a print shop.  Cairo a city of 18 million, and the people are so friendly – that is amazing to me, I guess I have become used to big American cities that are not so nice.  Anne comes back from the shop and is now able to get some pictures of the girls. They are smoking a water pipe, most likely without the permission of their parents as they have certain furtive look about them as if expecting to be caught while working real hard at acting as if it is an everyday affair.
