This is the end.

Dear loyal readers,

We leave the US again tomorrow to travel in Europe with our families for 6 weeks. It should be a really good time. This means, though, that this blog is unlikely to get updated anymore. A lot of stuff happened in Egypt that went unwritten -- a car accident, a broken arm (unrelated to the accident), and a lot of traveling -- but it looks like that will remain unwritten. All further inquires can be directed to nrhansen@gmail.com or millikhansen@gmail.com.

Our adventures will continue, but I think this blog is finished. We hope you have enjoyed reading it. We have certainly enjoyed living it.

Cheers.

Why I love Alexandria

This view of the harbor was from our restaurant table. We sat very near the place where a wonder of the world (the Pharos Lighthouse) once stood. Alexandria is nowhere near the city it once was, but it's still beautiful.

Home

Well.

There are at least a few dedicated readers of this blog out there to whom we wish to extend apologies for our reticence this past month (and some). This blog was created to keep interested parties abreast of our life abroad, so it's ironic that our busiest period should go so unannounced. That is to say: so much happened since I last posted, and we got so behind, that we gave up keeping up and just stopped.

We're home now in Dallas and have been for a couple weeks. It's great to be back. To see family, to eat great food, to just be. Don't get me wrong, we've been almost as busy during this period of "relaxing" too, but it's still nice to be back.

It's unlikely at this point that we will describe all of our final adventures in the land of Pharaohs and smog. I'll try to at least post some pictures (now that we again have a fast enough internet connection). If you crave the info that falls through the cracks, please email or call us. We'd love to talk with you.
