There was a battle at the museum tonight..

it seems it was won by the anti Mubarak protesters. The museum seems safe for now. Most of Mubarak's paid thugs have gone....some remain and skirmishes continue...where I live, in Mohandiseen we have sporadic and at times quite heavy gun fire right now..oh and tourism is worth about $6 billion a year.
