Curtis, Cliff, and I left today for a guys' weekend trip
to the White Desert south west of Cairo. This area is near
the Bahariya Oasis, and we stayed at a hotel in the oasis.
This is the same area that Nancy, Trish, and Curtis visited
over Thanksgiving last year. A van from the hotel came to pick
us up in Maadi and take us on the five hour trip to the oasis.
The road is a nicely paved highway that cuts through the desolate
western desert that begins as soon as you leave the river.
