Well I can connect to the Internet from Cairo, but can’t seem to connect to FTP to upload pictures, so words will have to do. Cairo is a flat, sandstone colored place. Every building is painted the same color [or "was" – a lot are faded]. There are minerets dotting the horizon in all directions, There are 20,000,000 people living here so the traffic is terrible. – rush hour "7AM-Midnight." The freeways are elevated above the bustling streets so as to take up less room. Everything here so far is about too many people – the government and all employees are being moved out of the city to cut the population. But it seems safe and happy so far. We’re in the hotel and sleeping off the grueling trip…
Dear T.E. Nardo,
What a cool adventure to notch on your belts. If you see Lisa Hallaby in Jordan, please tell her I’ve always been mad for her. Thanks for the card – safe travels and bright moments. We look forward to your dispatches and full report!
You can do a lot more with words than most people can do with pictures, so I will actually be READING this blog to see what you guys are up to. Seems exciting!
