We were supposed to leave Alexandria at 10:00 pm last night, it is now 1:30 pm the next day and we are still tied up to the port. The Mediterranean Sea is a little on the rough side, so rough that the Port is closed, we could leave if we wanted to but we would not get a Pilot from the Port to take us out and once we got into the open seas the swells are large. Rumor has it that two ships "crashed" last night, not really sure what that means. At 2pm we are supposed to reevaluate the weather... so we shall see.
I've decided to split up the Egypt pictures into three sections: Cairo, Suez, and Alexandria. Because Suez has the least amount of pictures I've put that up first.

It isn't real exciting but we had an amazing sunset... of which I took way to many pictures of.
Once I get Joy's pictures of Alexandria and Cairo I can work on those two pages... Might have Alex done by the end of today (store isn't open so I'm bored) but Cairo is going to be big so it may take awhile.
The sad news is that our summer has ended... the weather in Alexandria is not too bad, cloudy and windy but Turkey is in the high 40s, low 50s so folks are starting to realize they should have brought some cold weather gear. I forsee a run on sweatshirt in the store tomorrow.
Hope everyone is well!!!!

Hi Joe and Joy,
Yes, summer is over. It is even getting cold at night in St. George. The days, however, are 70 degrees and gorgeous!
LOVED the pictures of the Suez Canal, ESPECIALLY the sunset pix. I love sunsets, and you can never take too many pix!
We continue to be just amazed at your incredible journey. Thank you again and again for sharing it with us!
Love and hugs,
Karen and Mom :)
Hi Joy and Joe,
I liked all the sunset pics. Especially the ones at the top of the 2nd page over the sand dunes. Not a sight you get to see very often. In Santa Cruz you only get to see the sun setting over the Pacific....very boring....:-). Sounds like your weather will be about like ours next week of course here it freezes at night. Have fun in Turkey....love you.
