Final Pics from Egypt, including a picture of the Plane Window that blew out mid-flight. Mid air emergency altitude drop and return to Cairo from over the Mediterranean Sea….. Lucky to be alive.
KARNAK. Holy…. Wow….. uh……. There are no words…… AND we were taken behind the locked gates to see the hieroglyphs of Alexander the Great…. Along with the Great Ramses and Otep…. Nefrititi…..
Coptic Christian section of Cairo. With a Church that’s from 600AD, nestled in the middle of the Chaos of old Cairo, a living breathing City, the only sense of quiet and calm around. This is not a religious statement, but a remark on the beauty of this area and its community, and more importantly the unbelievable timing where no tourists were allowed in, but we somehow remained. Clearly a once in a lifetime experience. Everyone in Old Cairo was exceedingly nice in this area.
