"Not So Different From Me After All," in Jerusalem |
"Well, if you hadn't decided to go blonde, we wouldn't be so noticeable," my husband, Andrew, said.
A Coke and a Smile—Egyptian Style |
September 2005—It was mid-afternoon on an excruciatingly hot day in the Valley of The Kings, Egypt. I was spending a few days on a Nile cruise, and each day the boat would stop for an excursion of some type. On this particular day our group boarded a shuttle van to view some pyramids and tour an alabaster factory. The alabaster factory was the last stop of the day. The intense heat of the Saharan September could only be described as oppressive. The heat came from above and seemed to come from below as well. It just bounced off the sandy Sahara with no reprieve in sight.
