Cairo Egypt
When we arrived at our vacation rental in Cairo, Egypt in 2016, the pillows were nasty. They were caked with stains and different colors of bodily fluids left from...whatever activities they'd been involved in before we got there. So, one of the first things we did the day after we got to the rental, was go get new pillows. In this video, we're riding in the taxi back to the rental from a large department ...
Cairo is not the prettiest city in the world, but we still enjoyed the view from our 14th floor apartment where we lived for 2 months in 2016.
