It's the end of the first full day in Cairo, and we have just returned from the Pyramid Light and Sound Show. I went with a couple who were on a different Insight Vacation tour, and it was a welcome reprieve to have somebody to talk with. The show is literally unchanged from its presentation in the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me," with the same tacky soundtrack you hear in the movie. In a way, though, this quaintness just added to the experience, and it should not go without notice that for Egypt, a country that epitomizes timelessness, this foot in the past seems appropriate.
Though I did not know this at the time, as it turns out I sat in front of, and briefly conversed with, a mother and son (Nancy and Bryan) who would later be some of my shipmates on the Nile cruise.
