Not much today - we are now in the Mediterranean.  Came through the Suez Canal today.  Bob if you are reading this I still have your postcard and will mail it from home since you put a US stamp on it!  The Suez Canal really does just go through desert on both sides - the Western side does have some agriculture but the Eastern side is pretty much just desert!  Interesting though.  Soldiers stationed all along the canal - Ginnie and I have never seen so many armed guards - they are all over the place in Egypt.  And the weather was fantastic - actually cool - almost cold this morning.  And lots of sunshine!  Haven't downloaded pictures yet so no picture today - maybe I'll include a Suez picture with the pyramids on Thursday.  Tomorrow the pyramids - can't wait!  All for now.
