Madeline and I are sitting on a deck of our hotel having a cup of hot tea.  We are already quite hot, but it is the thing to do.  We just had a full day of going to the Citadel which was very impressive, then on to the oldest market.  Both were completely interesting.  While at the Citadel, we could see two sets of pyramids.  It was also time for prayer, and we could hear from the city below the sounds of the prayers being called.  It was quite surreal for me.  At the market trinkets were bought by all.  I may be kicking myself, but I bought a brass table with a wooden stand.    We had lunch at an adventurous cafe, of which I will eventually include a picture.  

              I am going up to the room in a moment to prepare for a very special evening in Tara's life, as she is going to be meeting Ibrahim's parents for the first time.  It is such a privilege for me to participate in this time.  I am very thankful to be here with her.  She is such a beautiful young woman, so thoughtful and intelligent  Until later..........
