The Aegean Sea Cruise: More from Cairo, Egypt
above: a blurry photo of "Scarabee", the dinner cruise boat
above: I've had a lot of fine wines in my time, but never heard of this one: "Omar Khaggam Vin Rouge Gianclis"
above: there was an Egyptian wedding on the boat that night
and a exciting belly dancer...
above: who I danced with!
These days in Egypt have been enlightening, educational and enjoyable. Once again I feel enriched from learning more about the modern and ancient Egyptian cultures. Not all of it is perfect, but that again, what nation is? And how is perfection defined anyway? Depending on your point of view, the world looks very different when you travel. Aside from all the wonderful sights and experiences, if you have an open mind, it also provides unique perspectives on the similarities and differences we have from each other. More from the Pyramids:

these columns are over 5,000 years old!

Enjoy your sea day today, Rick! I left a little something in your belt loop on your FB page... LOL!
So you crashed a wedding!!! :)
Can't say I would ever have wanted to visit Egypt, and the armed caravan definitely would have freaked me out, but I might give it a try now.
When we travel, we find as many ways as we are alike as we do how we are not alike.
I will try not to envy your trip. As I said, I have wanted to go there since I was five.
Beautiful photos of some truly awesome places. Thanks once again for taking me along as you tour the Mediterranean!
what an amazing series of sights you've been able to take in during this trip.
