just no way to say it all. Trains planes and automobiles and boats and livestock, what a way to travel. By the way, lights while driving here are optional, headlights and signal lights. Crossing streets is an art. Lanes are optional.
I am in Alexandria for those who care. This is a very arabic area but there is enough english around for me to survive. I’m actually quite pleased with my arabic and get complemented on it. If there is a media report of Hogan in Egypt it wasn’t me.
I don’t know if you heard but there was a bomb in Cairo last night not too far from where we were having supper but I never saw anything, security went up a notch though.
I’m liking the buying of supper while the seafood is still moving, they give you too much food.
Great view of the mediteranean out of my hotel window right across the street.
Take care all, moi

I know what you mean about too much to say, all the little things that make a trip great.
So are you now with a different group of people, or are the same people doing all parts of the trip as you are? No, I hadn’t heard about a bombing in Cairo, at least not on CBC news, which I’ve taken to having on in the background during the day.
Sophie and us are still doing just fine, she is getting more and more mobile every day. We finally got some more snow here in Edmonton, all told, there should be an extra 20cm on the ground when the week is over. Yippee!

The group I started with have gone home or on with their trips. Nice news about Sophie and the weather, thanx.
