Just Returned From Egypt (April 9, 2012)
Just returned from 13 days in Egypt. Though I briefly visited Cairo in the summer of 1970 and spent a morning at the Giza pyramids I didn’t really appreciate it. This visit was different. Susan and I feel extremely fortunate to have recently traveled sections of the River Nile and experienced firsthand the rich culture it helped create and maintain. Below are a few photos – more will be added to permanent sections of the blog.
