Security

At the Valley of the Kings.

Thanks For The Warning!

I was doing laundry late one afternoon at the hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, As I was hanging socks and underwear on my homemade rubberband clothesline on the balcony outside, I noticed this cloud. 'The fog must roll in from the Red Sea', I thought, 'much like it does every afternoon in San Francisco'. When the fog enveloped me, I realized that it was the insecticide that the hotel sprayed every day.

Koshary

Koshary at Ali Baba's restaurant in Aswan. Koshary is a mix of rice, lentils, garbanzos, macaroni, fried onions, and a tomato-y sauce. Additional toppings are optional. I like a lot of fried onions i mine. The bowl of koshary in the photo cost about $1.25. 14 of us ate here for a grand total of $31 U.S.
