Exhausted from fending off
semsars (brokers) and other street mountebank-type-figures pushing substandard, ramshackle housing on us at exorbitant prices, Cakmac and I took matters into our own hands. We found our OWN ramshackle housing in Cairo in the form of what we like to call "The Cave."
(Doesn't it look like a cave? Hi Kerry!)
"The Cave" is a free-standing house in the neighborhood Dokki in Cairo, Egypt. It has a backyard with a tree and with lots of cats that only get in fights with each other around 6am. Our landlady cooks us dinner sometimes, and sometimes we make pancakes at midnight. That's just how we roll in the Cave.
We welcome you to our home, and promise to entertain you with stories, profiles, photos, tours of the neighborhood, and even the occasional cave-drawing. Welcome to "The Cave," and to our daily lives in Egypt.

I think it looks pretty swanky, but that's just me. Glad to see you found a place, though.
Nice place. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.
Looks cozy! Looking forward to all the events.
The place looks nice, and it kind of does look like a cave... I can't wait to hear more.
