Two Queens last night instead of a King, in this case referring to sleeping arrangements instead of Egyptian Royalty. It reminded me of the separate security lines at the airport for searching men and women, or the separate Valleys for Royal entombment. Some things never change. 

After 432 attempts, I finally solved the daily Wordle on the FIRST attempt – CANOE. I always start with this word since it has three vowels. It was only a matter of time before this would finally happen – maybe the magic of the pyramids? 

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization was a very modern facility. I’m sure that once the Grand Egyptian Museum that we visited on our first day in Cairo is finally completed, it too will be equally spectacular. The highlight of today’s tour was the Royal Mummies. It made me think of the Prince Harry book, The Spare, and how he referred to his special “mummy.” My wife could not stomach the preserved, blackened corpses that are set in glass cases, as we descended into the bowels of the earth. Happy Halloween, early this year.
