DATELINE: SHARM EL SHEIKH, EGYPT
Leaving for Tripoli today, where we will meet up with the fifty-nine other people on our intimate little eclipse tour. Managed to be somewhat lazy in Sharm and get nine dives in five days. I saw many blue spotted stingrays, two eagle rays, two
giant morays (gymnothorax javanicus), a few huge Napoleon Wrasses and about six billion
Anthias (Anthiases?). But of course the real reason I come to Egypt is for the lemon juice. Thick, creamy, frothy and tart -- the lemon juice, more so than the Sphinx, is the true enigmatic sublimity of Egypt.
I don't expect to have too much internet contact in Libya. Perhaps Tunis.
Asalama!
