View from my WIndow in Alexandria Saturday






The Mediterranean Sea is beautiful from my window. The fishermen are standing on the boat with their nets on board to go out. We had a great dinner with the school folks at Salemlik, which is the old guest house of the Montaza Palace of King Farouk. The guest house was for men only (hence Salem in the name).. THe women's guest house is also on the grounds (Haremlik). It is now a fabulous restaurant and we had wonderful food with the school folks there. We have been teasing our principal here because he is a CHOCOHOLIC, in other words he loves chocolate and his faculty tease him about that all the time. He gave me a bar of one of his favorites and you will see it in a couple of pictures! Today we are in the school for the first time. Stay tuned for more information and pics!

  4. My dream has been to take a cruise around the Meditteranean, and from the looks of your pictures, I will not be dissapointed. I am a big fan of your chocoholic friend as I think I am one myself:)
    Hope you had a GREAT day!!
