Cruisin' the Nile

Early this morning Debbie and I cruised on the Nile on one of the many festive boats docked in downtown Cairo. The weather was perfect, and the summer breeze felt wonderful on our faces!





We quickly found our respective corners and relaxed.





Isn't the painted mermaid on the boat above utterly whimsical?



We shoved off and the boat's colors flapped smartly in the wind.





To open waters we went, ready to explore whatever lay ahead.


Then began the series of campy poses. LoL.













We saw other folks out and about also enjoying the Nile.





This restaurant looked like it would be a fun place to dine.


In the summer, wealthy tourists rent out waterfront homes on the Nile. Can't you just see yourself waking up to a healthy dose of sunshine and stepping out onto your private boat for a li'l jaunt arount the Nile?




And then, it was time to head back. Siggggh.



We left totally relaxed and ready for our next adventures.
