egypt2008

We went on a tour to Egypt October 21-31, 2008. The well-known tourist attractions exceed expectations. For a real treat, get beyond the tourist track and explore the back streets of Islamic Cairo.

I wrote a travelogue of this trip and will email it to anyone who asks for it.

Gene. I swear I have never and probably will never meet another more traveled than you and Vera. Your pictures as always are simply breathtaking. They take average people like myself on historical journies and for that I am grateful. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
