Quietest place in all of Cairo

In the first century, St. Mark (one of the original apostles), travelled to Egypt to spread the gospel. Due to disagreement on dogma, when the Roman Catholic church was formalized in the 4th century, the Egyptians did not join. Egyptian Christians are known as Copts, and there is an small area within Cairo were they live, and their most holiest shrines are built.

The church of St. George...

Heather and Helen wandering the ancient streets...

 In a city of over 20 million, of course the quietest place is a freakin graveyard...

We decided that until I get right with the big guy, Heather would handle all fire whenever in a church...

Beautiful arabesque architecture, but where normally there would be an Islamic Cresent, there are Christian Crosses. 

Inside a small courtyard, the epic battle between Tweety and Sylvester continued...

Egypt has tons and tons of relics and are constantly discovering more, for example, we stumbled upon this 2000 year old jade statue of a royal cat, in a display case in the Metro... sort of like having Ben Franklin's hat at the Irvine train station...

After a last dinner, we ended an amazing 2 weeks together with a date milkshake.
