Alexandria

I wanted to meet my friend here to get a better feel for the place. She would know here own city much better than my American companions and I. We explored the a small bit of Alex on our own though, a main highway running along the coastline and the area around the Citadel of Qaitbay. The thing that stuck out about Alexandria is all the grey along the sea line. Grey right along a grey sea. At the time I felt like it could be claustrophobic. Unfortunately, we discovered an area with an abundance of shops and eateries on our departure from our excursion.

This photo is a scene from our hour and half boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea. I did not swim, but I did spot the largest jellyfish I have ever seen in my life. I think it was a monster, in the nicest, most magestic sense.
