Living In B.F.E. (Cairo, Egypt)

 
It Came from Outer Space
Feb-Apr, 2003

Well, we were told that there was a war recently, of course we knew and were updated by the US Embassy. But in truth, our lives didn't change. Steve went golfing. Ron and Ramona left Egypt 6 days before the war started and Ann and Harold arrived a few weeks after the war. So all in all life was just life.

Below, is a collection of photo's proving that those who visit us from other lands are in fact...

Alien: Nancy our first visitor. We put her to work right away, she helped paint that blue wall behind her.
On top of old Mt. Sinai
Yes, it's straight down.
Climbing back down the 3700 steps of repentance. (it's a long way)
Alien: Ron and Ramona arrive. It's Christmas Egypt style. A suitcase full of muffin tins, shampoo, peanut butter and blankets. I'm sure we hugged them before Chan dug in.
Kickin' back at the Red Sea.
Ron on a camel heading up Mt. Sinai.

The classic and graceful dismount. Yep, that's my mom!

Alien: Ann and Harold arrive and we fly down to Luxor/Aswan for a boat cruise on the Nile and get some temple sightseeing in.
Temple Philae. Very old and very dry, they moved it from an Island underwater to this location.
The expert tour guide. 
A quiet dinner after 2 weeks straight of sightseeing. Even the dog is tired.

peace!
