The Nile At Cairo

It’s been a while - over six years - but we crossed the Nile tonight shortly before midnight after a 4-hour direct flight on Egyptair from Barcelona.

Ayman, our regular driver, greeted us at the airport with a big bouquet of flowers for Dd, and we fell into our old ways immediately, including the ritual of my offering him a Smint as soon as he hit the dual carriageway toward Downtown.

There has been no culture shock, just a sweet sense of coming home!
