Today was a chill day. Our bus didn't leave till 10 pm, so we paid for a very late check out and mostly hung out in the room all day. Anna was feeling sick. We did venture out for a walk in the neighborhood trying to find a koshary place for lunch. In the process, we stopped at a juice place and got a couple of fresh squeezed orange juices.
