We arrived after noon–exhausted from the mini walk up. All we needed was some time in the shade under one pyramid with some water, and we were rejuvenated.Continue reading Cairo #1: The Pyramids

During the first week of January, April, July, and October, you are encouraged to buy a book for a friend–for no particular reason. Cool! I can do that. I’dContinue reading BAFAB
