Paula and I did the usual stuff during our 12-day tour of Egypt -- pyramids, spinx, temples, tombs, Nile River cruise, 20-mile dune buggy ride throught the desert, boarding camels, sailing on a felucca, seeing as many of the 110,000 King Tut artifacts as possible in the Museum of Egypt in Cairo. There were donkeys everywhere -- plowing the fields, pulling carts to market. And goats herded within inches of heavy Cairo traffic.
It was my 34th country to visit since my 1996 retirement from the Beacon Journal. Only China was on the same plane when it came to being a fascinating country.
