Haiku My Heart  is Rebecca's heart child. sometimes dreams slip in bringing tidings from the soul that you'd forgotten

How do I explain Egypt to you? It's both the expected and the unexpected. I didn't expect, for example, that traffic in Cairo would make Manhattan cabbies look like models of civility. I didn't anticipate that every place I looked I'd find a visual feast. I didn't know that I'd take a whole series of photos of beautiful weathered doors in Esna and Luxor. I expected to find photo ops in abundance and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't expect that when Egyptians asked if we were English or Canadian and found that we were Americans, they'd burst into grins and flash a thumbs up and say "Obama! Good man." But they did. What a trip! I'll be showing you more glimpses of Egypt in days to come. I hope you won't get bored.
