Yes, we really did go to el Fishawy . . famous coffee shop in Khan el Khallili that the tourist guides say you must visit. It is crowded, noisy and, if you are sitting out in the passageway, you get hit upon by all sorts of people trying to sell things you don't need or begging for money. Lots of tourists there, if you are interested in meeting people and taking pictures of each other!  But, when you are with two young women dressed in a Western style with blonde highlighted hair, then you will attract much attention from young men (them, not me).   I fear we caused a bit of a ruckus while walking through the Khan.   Amal told me that when she went back later with Georges, a dancer from Greece attending the Festival, who is very good looking, tall, long dark hair . . .  he attracted more attention than she did, so she felt much safer . . . but she wasn't sure about him! If I get a picture of Georges, I'll post it.  He said he'd email me to setup an interview so I could write an article. We talked quite a bit as he was the first Festival-goer,  I met in the Mena House and we kept bumping into each other all week.
