Cruising on the Nile


Ahlan wa sahlan (Welcome) to entry# 2.
Last evening I cruised on the Nile with my colleagues...although we were on a sail boat, there was little wind so we were "pushed" along by a small motor boat. It was interesting to say the least, but we all enjoyed the food, conversation and of course the wonderful scenery.

Here is a picture of the group before the cruise, as you can see we have a diverse team, coming from all ends of the corporation, representing a wide variety of skill sets.





Here is a picture of the Opera House that was built and "donated" by Japan to Egypt. In fact, the Governor of Luxor (where I will be tomorrow, and for the remainder of the stay use to serve as the President of the Opera House before being appointed as Govenor).







Finally here is a picture of our meal before we all completely devoured it. I am beginning to realize that we don't really eat lunch, just breakfast and dinner. I really don't know if that is part of the Egyptian culture, or just an element that we have so many things to do during the actual work day.




Until next time...
Salam alekum (Peace be with you)

What a beautiful building that Opera House is. The Japanese truly know how to give beautiful gifts (i.e. our 3,000+ Cherry Blossoms nestled around the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC). What year was the Opera House constructed?

Trent- I'm glad you have a digital camera to take in all the beautiful sites to share with your readers. Maybe Lee and I will visit Egypt when it isn't soo hot. Enjoy the temperatures. We're bracing for another storm to start tonight, and end 6am Friday morning...sigh
