On Day Two Mahmoud took me to the City of the Dead, one of the large cemetaries in Cairo. It's actually also a city of the living, as several poor families reside in the houses that surround the graves. At first I felt really uncomfortable when people would give the 'what are you doing here?' look, but most everyone was quite friendly, especially the kids with their giggles and pointing and hellos.
The previous day Mahmoud said he would wear a white t-shirt Sunday so that he could be as white as me.
