Just another Sunday lunchtime view ...

It was just another sleepy Sunday afternoon (or actually Friday).  The roof of Pizza Hut here in Giza has this breath taking iconic view.  There were 7 of us sitting, munching enjoying the close proximity of ancient history.  It felt like a special moment in time away from the crowds, the hawkers trying to sell us plastic souvenirs, away from tour guides anxious to keep us in tow and give us a long protracted history of Cairo and the pharaohs.  It was good to sit and absorb, appreciate this view away from the continued political turbulence and turmoil of Egypt, Just a quiet moment - well inbetween the frantic pizza munching!  Jane
