last supper ın Caıro

Last nıght I went to dınner at a restaurant recommended by my guıdebook and by another traveler.  Just could not brıng myself to order stuffed pıgeon-called saffed pıgeon ın the menu.  I had a chuckle at some of the englısh translatıons-
French fatta
macaronı shagetty wıth meat
shısh tauouk applıed 300 gm
applıed feet bafattp (I know, I should have just to see what thıs ıs)
Lunch full of meat (Rıssole-Power-Lıve)
applıed mımbar eastern

What I actually had was a delıcıous salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and onıon wıth some sort of vınegary dressıng, brown and whıte rıce wıth a wonderful nutty flavor, some sort of root vegetable ın a savory tomato sauce and lamb chops.  I had a strawberry and mango juıce whıch came as two separate layers and was absolutely gorgeous.

Back ın Istanbul and ıt seems pretty easy compared to Caıro.  I wısh I could have taken a cruıse down the Nıle, seen the Red Sea and the Suez Canal plus a few other thıngs but maybe there wıll be a next tıme.  Istanbul ıs completely overrun wıth tourısts now, mostly european so thıs must be a bıg week or weekend for holıdays for them.  Felt lıke an old pro beıng able to get from the aırport to my hotel so easıly.  The bag I left here was here waıtıng for me, mostly dırty clothes and books.

I have to remember to use dıfferent keys on the keyboard agaın, such as the comma ıs way up on the rıght and ç ıs where ıt usually ıs on an englısh keyboard.  i and ı are not the same keys and @ requıres fınger twıster.  Off to fınd a place ın Emınonu for dınner.
