Friends Everywhere

Today John took a tour to Alexandria. I wanted a sim card, so hung until the shop down the street opened, picked one up, then grabbed a chicken shwarma on the way back for lunch.

After a short rest, I grabbed an Uber to visit an old friend who now lives in Cairo. We last saw each other when he and his family came to my retirement ceremony in 2018.

I got back to the hotel at 1800 and several of us met for drinks. John's tour didn't get back until 1900, then about 10 of us had dinner at the hotel's Lebanese restaurant. Yum!

We called it an early night to try to get on the local time schedule and kick the jet lag. Hopefully we'll sleep well tonight.

So long (for now), and thanks for all the MOSQUES! ✌️Read more
