Something happened last night.  I don't know what, but when Justin and I headed out this morning the sky was blue.  Not brown.  Not grey (in other cities usually suggests overcast but in Cairo actually means grey smog, blocking any clouds that may or may not be present above).  But blue.  And there were white fluffy clouds floating around in the blue!  It was amazing.  I'm assuming the clear skies had something to with the fact that it was Friday, the Egyptian religious day, and there was a light breeze moving through.  

I didn't have my camera on me when we first noticed the blue sky, and I assumed I had missed my chance, as the traffic increases through the day.  However, a few hours later, Justin and I headed out to an outdoor coffee shop and lo and behold the sky was still blue!  The picture was taken on Justin's computer camera.
