Today, in Aswan, I said this thing on the boat crossing the Nile. I hope you don't mind, but I am going to mis-quote myself now: "I understand why people come here- Aswan lets you keep believing that Egypt is how you imagined it."
What I mean of course is that very pretty, scenic and full of absurdly romantic boats, sand and old things. It also holds the top honor in the newly created Will Sisk Prize for Clean Devloping World Cities. There are people here who really seem to understand that tourists don't want to come to a trash strewn concrete filth den. (Right? It seems like the tourism schools in Egypt are teaching something afterall!)
