Postcard from Alexandria, Egypt, November 1911

Evidence of the Journey. A long-ago trip to Egypt and the Pyramids.  A postcard with Greek handwriting bearing a postmark from Alexandria, the gateway to Egypt.  A view of the pyramids, perhaps as seen by Alexander the Great himself.

Over a hundred years have passed, yet somehow this postcard survives. I gaze into its ancient landscape and wonder at the many stories it could tell.

– with love for the journey.

The best kind of insomnia, jet-lagged wakefulness on arrival at an exotic location.  A view from my hotel room at the Mena House Oberoi in Cairo in the early dawn hours.

The excitement of watching the pyramids slowly emerge from the shadows as the day begins.  Wondering what adventures the day will bring.  Anything seems possible.
