Humaita Interesting comments about Humaita. We lived there for 2+ years (back in the 80's) as Peace Corps Volunteers. It was interesting to see some familiar faces in the photos. The bust in front of the Ruinas de Humaita is of Mariscal Lopez (not Alfredro Stroessner) who led the Paraguayan forces in La Guerra de la Triple Alianza. Humaita was the the scene of a prolonged struggle during the war. The magnificent church was bombed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Amazing :) You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I can't imagine paris, let alone my life without you in it. You are beautiul and funny, and got are you smart....you kept me sane, you always made me smile, and no one, and i mean no one, could have asked or gotten a bettre best friend. From keep my ears warm, to getting my tarrots read (even when I wasn't even there!!) you gave me the best times ever! I love you and I miss you sooooo much!
Happy new year Hi Leslie, happy New year. Great to get your blogs. Just got back from hawaii, nice break from all the snow we have had here.
You are certainly keeping busy and having lots of great experiences.
Take care

Ha! I know. I have looked at posters and what not...but...I haven't found anything that I feel like spending my money on and since it is just where I sleep... Perhaps if I knew if I was staying, I would try harder to make it feel like a home.
Wow, I'm amazed that living in the capital city of the western art world that you have no pictures on your walls. Are posters really overpriced, or perhaps you're not allowed to stick anything up?
Wow! Hey Leslie!
I love your story about the shopping conversation. That was hilarious! Your night at the pyramids with the camels sounded amazing!
Karly ; )
Thank You I would like to say thank you to both of you for sharing your world travels with me. It was a great joy to read your blog and visualize some of the wonderfull things you did. Welcome home Sandy and Leslie... and Leslie when I come to the island in July perhaps you can tell me about your travells in person. Take care =)
WOW!! Yes that weekend was Greek Easter.."Xristos Anesti" is what we say. Easter is the biggest holiday of the year...But I was glad to see you did get to see some things while you were there. Hopefully you had some OUZO!! This part of your blog was very interesting. Definately won't we doing the train ride..lol
your little part to help children!!! I love how even so far away from home you and your mom try to help a child or any person that is in need!!! I wish more people did things like that in the world =)
What a trip! Wow, you two, these blogs are the most interesting I have ever read! I can't wait to read the next one. Hope you are well and able to digest all that weird food. The pictures are wonderful. Amazing.
Chaotic Cairo I visited Cairo in October 2007 and also found it to be a little overwhelming. I personally did not enjoy the city other than the pyramids. Nevertheless I am happy that I visited the busy, crowded city as it was an experience to say the least. The Grand Pyramid Hotel was where I stayed and it was great but what I found very difficult in Cairo was to discover the city on your own. Public transportation is very difficult/dangerous as many of the moving vehicles keep their doors open. The traffic is insane and cars drive aggressively. As my tour guide jokingly remarked, the traffic lights in Cairo are used only for decoration.
Needless to say, I was happy to leave the city and head down the Nile on a river cruise. The rest of the country is much more relaxed and enjoyable. The archaelogical sites along the Nile are fascinating, awe-inspiring and beautiful. My favourite was Abu Simbel near the Sudanese border....absolutely incredible!!!!
I made several friends while in Egypt (in my opinion the nicest people in the world) and hope to be back soon as I have been invited to a wedding in 2 years time.
