Walk Like An Egyptian

What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs at twilight?

If you were Tutankhamun, you walked on three legs all day long.

50 years ago, Wally Byam took a bunch of Airstreams over to Africa and road-tripped the eastern side of the continent. See previous post, Cape Town to Cairo. The caravan ended at the Great Pyramids of Giza, and they took this photo.

During the last two weeks of September, a common time for many Airstreamers to celebrate the anniversary of this epic trip, through random happenstance we were in Egypt.

How do you end up in Egypt on random happenstance you might ask? We didn't. We planned the trip, we just didn't know it was in conjunction with the anniversary of the African Caravan. Very little of Egypt feels African. Much of it feels Arabian.

Here's what that same parking lot under the First Great Pyramid looks like 50 years later. Timeless, aren't they, these amazing Wonders of the Ancient World.
The most frequently used Arabic phrases for us were (phonetic spelling):

Anna sayeed. Shokran. Salaam.

which means:

I am happy. Thank you. Peace.
