Two days ago we called to find out the prices for the Pharoanic Village. We were told to take the yacht, see the museums and see Tutankamun's tomb would be 100LE per person. A7mad brought more than enough from the prices they quoted. We took a cab because we were tired of waiting for a bus that... Sign in to see full entry.

Potpouri
Today we went to the Pharoanic Village. I will write more about that tomorrow. We saw a bird called the Egyptian Cattle Egret which they nicknamed the farmer's best friend. The bird eats all the worms. On the way home we saw the mosque of the seven sisters. The legend goes as follows. Seven sisters... Sign in to see full entry.

Passenger shaming
This is a new website created by a flight attendant. Pictures of rude flyers that are sent to her are posted on here. There are several pictures that had me just shaking my head. Now I must admit I travel with sandals so that I can take my shoes off but my feet stay down on the ground or on top of... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt 2014 II
Yesterday A7mad bought some low salt Egyptian cheese. One of my faves to eat on bread with fresh sliced tomato and onion. So yummy! We were supposed to go to the clinic today for him to get an injection in his jaw for his cartilage but he woke up feeling like he had the flu. The next clinic day is... Sign in to see full entry.

Egypt 2014
We went to the main library last week. We couldn't go in because I didn't bring my passport with me. Two days later on Saturday we went again. This time we took a copy of our old marriage license and my passport. They didn't look at the license. They photocopied both my passport and his Egyptian ID.... Sign in to see full entry.

Botanical Garden
esterday we went to the botanical garden. They are working on it. It appears even it doesn't survive trash being thrown all over. It would help if trash cans were placed throughout the garden. They have a rose garden. There are roses of several colors but all seemed so small. They have rare trees... Sign in to see full entry.

Electricity off again!
Yesterday the electric was once again cut off for 3 or 4 times. One of the times A7mad was finishing up taking care of business in the bathroom. And of course it was precisely at this moment the electric was cut. We were lying on the bed while it was off. We always knew the precise moment it was... Sign in to see full entry.

Potpouri of updates
I have had the flu the past three days. The first of course is usually the worst. Every muscle and lots of bones hurt. My glands so swollen in my throat that you don't even have to touch it to see that they are. High fever the first day as well. A7mad thought someone was trying to burn him when I...
