Round 1 happened while at a beach resort in Morocco, buffet food. I should have known better. Round 2 happened at a "upscale Western" coffee shop here in Cairo, after eating a boxed cold cut sandwich... you know, a sandwich in a triangular container, nicely packaged and sliced diagonally so as to look appealing and entice you with its 3-5 day old goodness. I have to say, my guard was down.
Today, we went looking for "safe" options for lunch and settled on, are you ready for
this, McDonalds. Considered upscale for this part of Cairo (your meal costs more than a dollar), they're supposed to observe different food handling practices. Their McArabia grilled chicken sandwich was kind of like a chicken Cesar flat bread sandwich, but with all the ear marks of McDonalds (over spiced).So far, so good, but I'll follow up later with the final results.

So, I was bored at work this morning, and I read your entire blog. I find it all very interesting, and it makes me want to travel to more "off the beaten path" places. I too was bummed by the tour de France doping fiasco. This was the first year that I really watched it (3 hours a day), and found myself rooting for Vinokourov - especially after his fall. I'm not sure if I'll watch again next year.
By the way, Jesse, you are still in the org chart, and your old boss is moving to a new position. The new EGM for the handling lab will be Dennis Furlong. Not sure if you even care, but thought you may be interested in knowing.
Forgot to put my name on the above comment

Does this mean that Jesse ate her first McDonalds burger...ever?!
