Today was my husband's birthday and we decided to celebrate by heading to the nearby city of Tanta. After completing some necessary business, we headed to our favorite local haunt: Paccino's Coffee Shop.
We discovered this cafe during my visit last November.
Free wireless internet and a drink menu which includes everything from lattes to smoothies to hot cider. You just gotta love it.
Our favorite table is in the back corner looking out toward the rest of the cafe...
...and up at the legends of rock and roll.
Our usual fare: two lattes and a water.
Scenes from Tanta:
The Tanta Bus Station:
Yours truly waiting for a bus back to Basyoun. Words are insufficient to explain how glad I am to have Reda to navigate the maelstrom of the Egyptian public bus system for me. To put it short, there are too many people, too few buses and too much of a "survival of the fittest" attitude towards obtaining a seat on one of them. Imagine the chaos of 50 people pushing and shoving to try and get onto a bus that seats 15. The pictures below are a case in point.
Fortunately, with a little patience, foresight and luck it is possible to avoid the worst of the crowds and get a seat with a minimum amount of fuss. However, both Reda and I will be very very glad when we can get a car of our own and these bus-capades are far behind us.
