sincerity of the day

May 20, 2009

This has actually been going on for 10-14 days since a tip from my friend Casey… Cairo has many juice places. But there’s a specific one on 26th of July Street, just around the corner, that sells green melon juice in emptied water bottles. A bit pricey by Egyptian standards, but about as refreshing as a substance can be. I have a bottle right here. The old man who owns the place is hilarious, always trying to talk me into another flavor or a second bottle of melon.

Actually, he talked me into a bottle of peach last week, and it was so incredible I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten another one since. The peach juice is purely juiced peaches– no sugar, and not even any water. It’s still liquid enough to drink, though very thick. And yeah, it was good.

Watermelon not yet available. I realize June is a better season, but I’ve already seen ripe watermelon for sale, and want some of it in juice form!
