Thanks for the kind words, Walter. All credit, though, must go to the photography of Deb Roskamp.

Much appreciated, Jerry. Yes, it’s all about oil in Egypt. We support their dictatorship due to trade.

Moses and the Hebrews did travel 40 years in the desert but they wore sandals. The miraculous part is that those sandals lasted them 40 years.

Read your Bible in Deuteronomy 29:5 — “I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.”

I really got into your curiosity of the land. Loved those photos Miss Roskamp. This article is just as good as any National Geographic piece. I learned so much about the land and its people.

Surprised that they don’t have a lot of cars. Don’t they have oil in Egypt?

And Deb’s photographs were amazing as ever. I particularly appreciated her unusual angles — like the Sphynx — I had never seen it from the side before … didn’t realize it was that long … and the density of the cityscape. Your combination of prose and photography is definitely a view of the roads less traveled.
