54 hours

So, this took a very long time, to cover the distance between these two photos. Not a lot to say, really. Gonna have to go back to make up for the three weeks I missed.

station ident

over on warren ellis’ blog, he does these, and well, I’m just doing this one so that those of you who follow me in cyberspace only (and who haven’t heard from me since I got back) that I’m alive and well. Egypt was cut short because of some illness requiring a brief hospitalization, after which I was right as rain, but which completely drained my funds, destroying the fine balance I had between making money and spending it. So I had to come back early. I also now owe my mother a fortune, even though she says I don’t. there will be state fair pictures soon, and plans are hatching for more adventures.

made it to the beach

It’s wonderfully quiet here. I’ve only been here an hour and I’m already more relaxed. Got a meal, got my room, a shower, etc, etc. Internets is spotty and costly here. We’ll see if they change the password on me or what. Might just be incommunicado for a few days. Put the “get away” in get away from it all.

Meantime, bus rides are boring, except when there are pretty things to photograph out the windows. I can’t complain. The Sinai is pretty rad looking. Erm… yeah. not a lot to say. Photos! Yeah! Look:

Cairo: Life in the street

yeah, I know, more street pictures. I could do this all month, if I weren’t sick of Cairo. Really, really tired. noise. Cars. Crossing the road. No food in the day, because of Ramadan. A week at the beach is just what the doctor ordered. Yeah:

Also, sunset pictures coming soon. Over the freakin’ nile.

Nile sunset

So today I did a bad thing. I had dinner at Pizza Hut. But! I timed it so I would be right by the Nile, so I could see the sunset over the world’s longest river, and take some pictures. Here:

Definitely worth it.
