A word about Egypt since I was unable to get Internet when we arrived on April 4th. Western tourists are scarce, as indicated by the empty chairs at the "Light and Sound" show at the Pyramids. We were welcomed warmly by the Egyptians who were really glad to see us. No crowds made our trip memorable.
Tahrir Square looked a little bedraggled with a few flowers here and there to honor the martyrs. I heard that two days after we departed Cairo, the square was once again filled with protesters but we were long gone by then. The Egyptian Museum was fantastic, especially the King Tut items, including the famous death mask.
Don't know how the country will end up but I wish them well.
