Mohammed Ali Mosque Pic 20
There are lots of tours that go to the Mohammed Ali Mosque in Cairo. This is a picture of such a group. It was not my group. I had a private guide for the day. The lady in the picture is a tour guide. She is, in all probability, a college graduate and she makes great money, as far as jobs for women go, in Cairo. Unfortunately, she doesn’t make a lot of money, at least compared to what she would make in the U.S. Fortunately, her cost of living is much lower.

This was our home for 4 days and 3 nights. No toilet. We ate on the boat. We slept on the boat. Fortunately, the captain know where to stop for beer runs.
Europe 2005 Split Digs – Croatia
I arrived in Split, Croatia much the same way I arrived everywhere else I went in the Balkans, by bus. Like everywhere else I was met by room touts. One man was particularly cordial and I went with him and get another 10 Euro room in his home. Actually, he and his wife seemed to adopt me for my stay in Split. They couldn’t seem to do enough for me. Fortunately, Split was overflowing with things to see and do, so I didn‘t have to impose on them all day. I’d venture to say that I enjoyed Split more than I enjoyed Dubrovnik and I enjoyed Dubrovnik considerably. 11/2005
