Local Glassblower
 |
The
people of Cairo make their living in many ways.
This glassblower takes recycled glass and makes souvenir
items. They are mostly cobalt blue, but we
purchased one that was a pale blue with a red design
applied to it. He also made fishing net floats
which serve well as Christmas Balls! The
man in the background is Beshr, our driver and
guide. We hired a car and driver for our
sightseeing around Cairo. It was not too expensive,
and let us keep our own schedule. |
