Turgoman

Dr. Sally Michael Hanna, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs at October 6 University, is a Coptic Christian I met at St. Andrew's United Church of Christ. She has been a Fulbright Scholar at the State University of New York-Cobleskill. She is unmarried living with her parents in Heliopolis. Yesterday, I went to Cairo Plaza Turgoman Bus Station to get my ticket to Bahariyya. It's a modern bus station, inside a fenced square, located next to the very busy 6th of October overpass. Underneath the overpass, mostly clothing vendors are competing to attract customers with their racks of dresses, suits, ties, etc. It took forever for the ticket to print out; but I'm set to go–leaving Sunday.
Sunset from front window of apartment at 5:00 PM.
Sunset at 5:30 PM. As sun continued to set–becoming bright tangerine and ever more florescent against a grayed purplish background, photographs on my camera wouldn't turn out at all.
Moonrise as seen from back window of apartment, approximately 5:30 PM. Remember, there's smog in Cairo.
