New York Times Article

The New York Times just posted an article on Agriculture in Egypt. I must say, from what we have seen and all the lectures we have attended, it is spot on.

On my way to Aswan

Tonight we're leaving Cairo (37 degrees C) for Luxor and Aswan (44 and 41 degrees C respectively). Since we'll be on a Nile cruise, my access to the internet may be very limited. We'll be back in Cairo on Sunday.

I have updated some of the late postings from Italy. To see them, click on the "Late Blog Post" link below this post.

Lagging Behind

My flight to Egypt leaves this afternoon and my guys left this morning. The plan was for me to stay at the hotel until my flight this afternoon and use every ounce of thier free wireless internet to update the blog (since I'm behind by over a week!). Well, their last shuttle to the airport is at 10:30.

Well, ok, I'll work on it this morning until the shuttle. Then I met a wonderful man, Bill Sperling, who runs tours in Tuscany and the South of France. We had a very interesting discussion over cappucino this morning. This leaves me ten minutes to write this post.

I guess there must be a plan B.

Ciao!
