| goats on sidewalk, sheep in street |
Our overall impression of Egypt was that it was extremely dirty… trash everywhere, trucks dumping garbage into canals that ran between the streets. Horses, cattle, sheep share the roadways and sidewalks with trucks and cars. Many of the buildings are unfinished, yet still have their TV satellite dishes. Major developments are being built to the north of Cairo… there were signs touting malls and planned developments and highway interchanges “to nowhere” were disrupting traffic on the highway. Chaos is a kind description.
We were very glad to be back on board where we could shower and wash our clothes to get rid of the Cairo dirt. It makes you believe in the saying, “There’s no place like home.”
Sailing shortly after a beautiful sunset was welcome!
