The Trip to Egypt (Day Two)

DAY TWO
Saturday April 12th

So, today we were scheduled to arrive in Cairo and check into our hotel. There was an optional evening side-trip to Alexandria, which we wound up giving a pass. It wd have been interesting to see the site (more or less) of the great lost Library, see the famous harbor (once site of the famous lighthouse), or wander through their antiquities museum. But given that we'd have just come off a long set of flights, it seemed better to devote the rest of that first day in Egypt to resting up for all the activity to come, which was due to start  up the next morning.
