Egypt
Lisbon - for Easter holidays and the re-re-re-re-re writing of my Portuguese Masters' dissertation which never seems to be good enough for my advisor...a long story... |
| Me in a very hot day at the top of the village |
| | Castelo de Vide's castle May 2007
It was a hot day of May, 2007. Just couldn't any further...this was my highest point that day. Great view from here. Check my Marvao and Castelo de Vide pages for more photos of the sceneries. |
| me in Nile waters, free from crocodiles... |
| | Nile green water swimming... March 2007
Being back from Egypt is always a nostalgic state of mind...you wonder about those sceneries and the heat on your back as well as the constant smell of shisha pipes and the profusion of animals wandering about. I am always in love with Egypt despite my professional interest as a learning/growing Egyptologist. Although this country has beaten the record for tourists in 2006, it is really an experience for newcomers; a nice coming back for second-timers and an eternal bliss for people who elect Egypt as their favorite destination. Maybe it is tru, after all, that old Egyptian saying that Nubian boat drivers tell you: if you accidentally drink any water from the Nile you will be returning to Egypt. But it is difficult not to drink it if you go for a swim everytime you go near it's margins as I do... |
