Work To Be Done

We are in Cairo for Kirk’s work, he is buying Egyptian limestone. With a big international purchase it’s important to check out the source and companies that the stone is being purchased from. This means spending long days in stone shops and queries and bouncing between. It also means getting to see areas not as tourists but as those that live and work here.

A lot of these pictures are taken through the windshield and from the backseat. There is no infrastructure in the stone yard so the roads are extremely rough, it hard to get good pictures. Everything is covered with dust, I mean like an inch of dust. I’ve been wondering what it be like to be there after the rain that’s been happening the last few days.

Food stands in the Stone Yard.
Almost everyplace has several dogs, and I believe these dogs probably take care of themselves. They called them Bulldogs as they protect the place at night. This one seems to be well taken care of.
These trucks are waiting to enter the stone yard, they are on the same rough roads as all the other vehicles. They rule the road but it’s slow going!
A stone supply shop and “restaurant”.
Yuk-tuk, these are weaving in and out of the big trucks and other vehicles.
The query next to the stone yard. These are all over this city.
Traffic coming at us. somebody is going the way!
Layers of dust everywhere. I saw a food truck that was operating but the entire truck was encased in dust.

  1. So fascinating! And being able to see real life in Egypt must be amazing, and quite revealing! Do the women have to wear burkhas? Is English the second language there? I have so many questions! Can’t wait to hear more about everything when you guys visit again!!! 🙂
