Stories from a year in egypt. We agreed that the sand on this beach was the nicest our feet had even encountered. Most people have heard of Dubai, which is one of UAE's 7 emirates - the most Westernized, commercial, and touristy - and is where we stayed with family friends. It's a city full of superlatives. In 2009 the Burj Dubai will be open for business as the tallest building in the world. Elevators to the 164th floor are expected to reach 40mph. The whole city is one big construction site. Perhaps ki...

Stories from a year in egypt. We haven't posted anything in a while and will try to catch up. It was all a bit strange because Minia seemed like a very safe place to us. All of this security was a bit excessive. I think it must just be that you two are that. May 3, 2008 at 4:09 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Koleyit Ramsis / Dawson Hall.

Stories from a year in egypt. A very short trip down a very long river. A couple nights ago, Milli and I became tourists and went on a Nile cruise. Not on one of those five-star Titanics with belly dancing and lobster. This was on a 15-foot sail boat ( fellucca. Captained by a barefoot, 65-year-old man. This was a birthday present from my parents, who had also financed a "picnic" - which we took to mean all the junk food we normally can't afford to buy! They even threw in the sunset top it off. The mini ...

Stories from a year in egypt. Health Woes of Egyptians. A friend at work today came into our office and commented "My colon is very tired." This, apparently, is a common Egyptian "ailment", as a surprising number of people have commented on the state of their colon. As an American, and that too a daughter of doctors, I'm barely aware of my colon's placement, much less its activity or energy level. A bit odd, isn't it, to catch a cold when it's 100 degrees. Birth, death and re-birth. Then on Saturday we c...

into the desert: A bike tour
http://incairoegypt.blogspot.com/2008/04/bike-tour.html
Stories from a year in egypt. Well, the internet is still too slow to upload any pictures, but we can put a few of our oasis adventures in writing. The bombings raids actually opened up many more tombs that they didn't know existed. We took a short-cut back to town through a village on the outskirts. It was really fun to briefly see scenes of village life as we rode past. Donkeys sleeping and kids running and old men smoking and boys standing around. It was nice to get the exercise. The only exercise...

Stories from a year in egypt. Sun setting over the city:. The start of a new career? I now have a second job - a part-time proofreader for the magazine Egypt Today. I've worked there a few days now. It's going to be only a few days toward the end of each month, during the production period. I'm excited to see the world of journalism from the press room. I doubt my career aspirations will shift too dramatically, but it should be interesting. Maybe I (or Milli) could actually get something published. I hav...

into the desert: Into the Desert: Part I
http://incairoegypt.blogspot.com/2008/04/into-desert-part-i.html
Stories from a year in egypt. Into the Desert: Part I. 8221; which he repeated a couple times with obvious amusement. Our second stop was a cold lake, with reeds growing out of the dunes at the water’s edge. It was strikingly beautiful, especially given its incongruous location surrounded by arid desert. I wish we could post a picture…. After that they drove us “the fossils.” There, in the middle of empty expanses of sand, lay fossilized remains of fish and sea shells!

Stories from a year in egypt. We're home now in Dallas and have been for a couple weeks. It's great to be back. To see family, to eat great food, to just be. Don't get me wrong, we've been almost as busy during this period of "relaxing" too, but it's still nice to be back. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is the end. Why I love Alexandria.
