There's trouble in Egypt. Bad trouble. The people have risen up against the dictator Mubarak who has been in power for the last thirty years. Now there are riots in the streets. Everyone assures me it will calm down by September when we go. Still they are holding their elections for a new president then so who knows. It might be we have to go somewhere else. I hope not.

We have paid for all out deposits for the other tours now. Bec and I decided to hold off on paying for the Egyptian tour until things settle down some more.
