Egypt! T

Here is a choice shot of some yucky sink laundry: socks. Let's just say that walking in Egypt entails a lot of dirt.

Dateline: Luxor, aka The Hassle Capital of Egypt (which is really saying something.)

Egypt is a mixed bag: sometimes wonderful, sometimes crappy. Today was kind of great: a shockingly good vegan lunch, all Egyptian (traditional) dishes where we basically chanced it. Then fun walking in the desert around a huge tomb, and having a tourism police show us what was allegedly Ramses II's toilet, for "baksheesh" (google it: it's a little complicated. Sometimes tipping, sometimes fee for service, sometimes alternative economy, sometimes kinda like petty bribery.)

Tomorrow: more monuments to powerful dead people!
