Felucca ride on the Nile
Last week, we hailed a taxi and wizzed down to the Four Seasons hotel to hire a felucca ride, just in time to watch the sun go down and the neon light up the night. We lounged on the small wooden boat’s cushioned benches, watching the shoreline, and munching on egg salad, watermelon, and chocolate muffins. Sitting on the Nile, feeling the cool breeze, the chaos of the streets seemed so far away and any stress I feel from living so close to millions of people was washed away.
However next time, I’m definitely going to try and hire one of those other feluccas that are decked out with blinking Christmas lights and pump techno beats out over the water as they cruised along the Nile. Oh yay, paaaaaar-tay!

Your blog is great. You sound like you are having a blast and squeezing everything out of your time there. Saving my pennys so we can come visit you – maybe Feb?
