And thank you for the shares, Katrina! I have another one of these that I need to get out soonish, which will be more of a composite, I think.

It’s so much on my mind, 1.5 years after we visited Egypt. And yet it’s not in the news nearly enough. Or when it is, it’s a bunch of hooey and hype. Meeting real people and hearing their feelings is the only way to get the true story. So thank you, thank you.

I think it’s also that as a mother with a child you’re a target for scammers of all sorts, in a way that you’re not as a younger woman. I think it makes a difference if you have a man in tow, hugely: and mass tourism has taken off over the last two-three decades beyond recognition. It is rewarding, and worth visiting. But it’s also incredibly hard work from time to time.

I was there about twice that many years ago and was starting to wonder if it was just the obliviousness of youth that made me remember Egypt as being so much easier and hassle free. Doesn’t sound like I would like it as much now.

Thank you, Jenn! I really appreciate that you’re enjoying the series. I have a few more that I need to get out before they date too badly, but I’m glad it’s working for you.
