You took a chance going there knowing full well that war at the Gaza strip was going on, didn’t you? Were people worried? Did they speak English? What is the life expectancy?

Did the City of the Dead stink? What did Cairo smell like? Was it noisy? Did they have electricity? Water supply? How was the bathroom? Was it cheap? Could you wander around on your own? Was it safe?

I love that quote about the father who didn’t even recognize his own son. With so many wives, it makes sense.

I think in their macho culture, the women would be only too willing to be taken cared of by somebody … even a total drip … than to face life on their own.

Do you agree?

That picture of the city with the Pyramids way in the distance is the first time I saw it from that perspective. It changed my concept of the city completely.

Wonderful article, man.

The story about Moses traveling for 40 years without sandals is not completely accurate. 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.”

When I do go visit Egypt, I will definitely look for Wael. Thanks for the tip.

Your take on those other tourists remind me of a lot of snobby people I know. Good for you that you paid more to support their families.
