Dad in Egypt with Linda

We just came back from the souk (the outdoor market). Very primative but very interesting. Also cheap. Linda bought a kilo of sweet potatoes for 1 Egyptian Pound (about 20 US cents). We then went to a regular indoor market with package foods, etc and they had sweet potatoes for 7 Egyptian Pounds per kilo. So Linda has a weekly outing to the souk, gets really fresh stuff and pays very little. She has also become acquainted with may of the stall owners and they make sure she gets only the best produce.
All for now

Dad
