Every day holds something new

Living in general, and especially living in Egypt, I have come to expect the unexpected. You never know what each day will hold or what you might find when you round that next bend in the road. This morning was a classic example. I was walking on my normal route to work. I noticed a pungent aroma in the air, stronger than the normal trash and pollution smells I have grown accustomed to. I turned a corner to find the source. A dead, rotting, decaying sheep in the middle of the sidewalk on Road 10. Unbelievable. There are sections of Cairo where this would be quite normal, but for the part of town I live in it was suprising.
