Dinner was great. We went to the Grand Cafe on the Corniche, which is the riverwalk along the Nile. I had a Greek Salad with the lightest, freshest Feta ever tasted. Dale's lentil soup was marvelous, and yummy spring rolls too. The Sakkara beer and the iced latte topped it all off nicely. We watched the sunset and the Felucca's sailing up and down the Nile. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The cab ride there and back is another story altogether. There are lane lines painted on the roads, but no one pays any attention to them. As a matter of fact, if you straddle a line, you are in a better position to chose when to dart ahead as an opportunity presents itself. Merging is best done with ones eyes closed, as I am sure even the drivers do. But traffic keeps moving and one gets to their destination intact albeit slightly dazed. We were told that if you did hit another vehicle, you get out of the car, yell at each other, then get back in and drive away. There are very few insured vehicles here - many battered ones.

Dear Dale & Laurel:
I'm hoping this gets through to you. Haven't done this before. What an exciting time you are having. I love all the pictures and the stories. Everything is going really well back here in Kelowna. Everyone is busy. Moe and I are taking our 5 year old and 3 year old grandaughters in the motorhome to Manitoba for the Gervais re-union. We are leaving tomorrow morning. I am just excited as the kids are. It has been a long time since we went camping. I think the last time was when we brought the motorhome up to Comox for your Mom and Dad. Your mom seems to be getting better on the computer as she is sending me lots of stuff again.
Anyway, it is late and I need to get to bed so we can leave early in the morning. Take care and I will stay in touch too
Anne
