Real Shubra

Meet the next generation of Egyptian footballers. And a mean-looking American.

We were exploring the streets of Shubra (a poorer suburb of Cairo) and came across these little guys. I couldn't help but join in the fun and start kicking the ball around. I think we ended up playing for the next 2 hours. As the word spread, more and more kids came down and people started watching from their balconies.

It was a ton of fun and part of an altogether good day of wondering, talking, and bbq'ing.
