Dear friends,
I received a call and was told I needed to leave the country. Hmmmm....
I thought I might fly. Or perhaps take a car. Or a taxi or a bus. But then I thought, Maryam, why be so conventional? Why not think outside the box? Life is short - where is your sense of adventure....?
So I set off, and shhh.....with another man. His name is Ali and he is rather fond of blue. He already has two wives and he smells rather like a large mammal -- i.e. a couple of strikes against him. But I was taken in by his strange charm, nonetheless.
Unfortunately, after about an hour, my, ahem, derriere, started to ache. So I decided a plane might be a better option. Perhaps I am a boring girl, after all.
You can find me now in the land of the pyramids.
love,
Maryam in Cairo
P.S. If you come to Morocco, Ali would like to meet you. Or if not Ali, then maybe Moustapha, or Mohammed, or.... Hanging out with him on one of his large pets will cost around 100 dirhams (about $12) per hour or a bit more if you are somewhere pricey. So do set off on your own camel trek....
