Thanks to all of you who visited our Website. The Train at Aswan picture Bulldog mentions took about 3 seconds to take. I had no choice, Just ran along the platform got my Camera out and took it instantly. Result a first class pic. Sometimes I spend 15 minutes setting up the Camera making sure everything is correct and end up with a rubbish pic. Why ? Posts: 119 | From: West Midlands. U.K. | Registered: Aug 2003

Yes our e mail is on our web site. Would put it here only problem is auto spammers picking it up. We have enough junk mail without any more.

Thanks for sharing your pix folks. Some lovely shots. Like others it brought back fond memories for me, too. Got a question, though, not meant as an attack - just really curious. In all your visits to Egypt you must have become a little bit familiar with customs and how foreigners are viewed there at times. Theresa, don't you sometimes feel quite exposed dressed in little strappy tops and shorts while traveling out in public in Egypt? I know that sometimes first time visitors may not know better, but was kind of surprised to see a regular visitor dressed in such a manner, actually.
I know they see a lot of tourists, but to some people there it must have looked as if you were just about running around in your underwear at times. Wouldn't you have preferred to be a little less conspicuous?

Dear Artemi I've been in contact with Arabic culture since my teen years, most closely since 1996, when I started my Bellydance Classes.I am not a newcomer. When me and my husband are in Egypt, we visit the tourist sites, walk around tourist areas and, put money into the Country's Economy. We have some friends there, not only hotel staff. I have never felt embarrassed or had any problem with my dress code,until you pointed it out to me. I don't intend to change it either. If you dont like it, please, do not visit our Website again specially because we intend to go to a nudist beach at Maspalomas,Gran Canaria,very soon. Posts: 119 | From: West Midlands.
