Hey I was there for Bright Star too! Maybe in 1985! CENTCOM?
Small world.

Yeah, I also sat on a mangy camel and had a couple of big guys stand by in case the Egyptian tried to shake me down for more money to get off the camel ... :-)

I was just telling my kids tonight it’s sad to think they may never get to visit there ... bad stuff happened since the last time I was in Cairo, and more to come in the years ahead, I fear

That’s great!!!! I think about the fact that my 14 year old son will never get to go there. I did like the historical perspective of being in Cairo. I think if Egypt were safe today I would pay to take him over. You and I didn;t have to pay for it then...and we had guns - hehehehehe.
