	[b][i][color=f7976a]Notes:[/color][/i][/b] Remember - all directions are from the Docks. So if you want to go from one to the other you would need to head back to the docks and then go to another place. (Two rounds to get from one place to the docks, two rounds to get from docks to next place.)

	To the left they would find the market and bazaar.
	Straight ahead they would find the rose gardens and perfume dealers.
	To the right there was a sign for Tours to Athribis and Leontopolis. [i]Leontopolis was known for it's ancient tiles. Athribis was known as the birth place of Amenhotep and many artifacts in the museum back in Cairo held pieces from many a dig that had happened there, transported on rails by trains funded by a George Jay Gould.[/i] This is also where you will find the main train depot in the area.

	[color=ed1c24]*What is posted below is general observations stuff and any character would see. I will only take rolls for something very specific from here on out - 1 roll, 1 skill. Use skill roll form if you request. [/color]

	[b][i][color=f7976a]Market/Bazaar:[/color][/i][/b] Over at the Market and Bazaar there is an interesting mix of smell from the coffees and teas being brewed, the street vendors for food (much of which is on a stick and can be carried with one as they walk), there are samples of sweets and others boxed up for the buying, dates and pastries. Plenty of clothing and many a stall to tell belly dancer like costumes to the tourists. Some of course are more cheaply made while others look to have golden and silver coins of perhaps ancient nature strung onto them. If one cannot find an outfit they like there are bolts of silks and linens in bright colors woven with golden patterns in them. 

	There are also more modern stalls that sells watches, pens, clocks, diaries, and more. All with Egyptian flair. There are trade stalls where it looks like people are trying to pawn things or buy from a pawn broker. The battering is hard around here and it seems to get heated. Not only be the tone and volume of the voices but also from the fact there seems to be a lot of police standing around and making rounds through out the area. One can buy horses and camels, buy small pets, and cats are abundant roaming the streets. All in all, if it exists within Egypt, chances are one could find it here if they looked hard enough and could get a good bargain. 

	[b][i][color=f7976a]Rose Garden/Perfume Dealers:[/color][/i][/b] In all the city, this seems to be the only place where one does not see animals. No cats wandering around and one must leave any horses or camels or goats outside of the garden. The guards will not permit passing and there are high walls free of things for felines to climb. Though it probably isn't needed considering the fact there are so many flowers and so much honey about. Chances are there might be a bee or two around but from the looks of things, everything is calm. While there are many people there that look to be purchasing something, there are many couples here just seeming to take in the romantic oasis in the middle of a desert. 

	At each rose "station" - depending on color and type of rose - there is an explanation of the rose. What perfumes it is used in, whether they are for looking or for using as something more and some ancient information on them. Sad fact of the matter is, most of it is in Arabic. Only the actual name of the roses is printed in English as well. Over where the honey is, there are vendors, each honey looks slightly different, thicker or thinner, different shades. Some with honey comb in them, some without. And then of course there are the perfume vendors. Over by them the smell gets very strong. 

	[b][i][color=f7976a]Tours/Train Depot:[/color][/i][/b] All those headed to the trains will get there this round. J.C. seems calm and cool as he walks with Bella on his arm, making sure to keep the umbrella over her as the group heads towards the train depot. Everyone headed for the trains will be able to take note of each other. Richard and Faye will notice the group heading towards the train. Now since Faye and Richard didn't speak directly to anyone but NPC's last night, the PC's are not going to notice them anymore than any other in the crowds. The crowds are thick heading for the trains but there are enough to make it like a slow day at an amusement park or on the boardwalk. Faye and Richard will notice J.C. though since Faye spent time talking to him last night at the bar where Richard set himself on fire. Bella will comment in passing. "As facinating as the tiles that were made are, I would suggest Athribis, first. Much more mysterious. It dates back to the Twelfth Dynasty. Oh, about 18-1900's B.C. Quite the time, then during the middle kingdom. Did you know there was a demon by the name of Gilgamish that supposedly fought against the Second Great Empire during this time? Rather interesting. Many battles took place in these sands."

	At the train depot, there will be a line to a stall that is selling tickets. Day trips to one or other location as closed as they leave early in the morning. One can now purchase a ticket to either location with notes that a second train will leave every so often to bring them back to the train depot here. If one wishes they can purchase a second ticket to go to the other location - ticket purchases for the day stop at 4 p.m. Last train leaves the sites at 5 p.m. Next train will arrive at 6:30 A.M. - There is a warning that if you do not make the last train you will be stuck there for the evening and there is no where to rent a room for the night as these are ancient settlements.
