Pompay's Pillar

A weekend later and I am back in Alexandria.

This trip was much more educational than the first. Our guide is an Art History professor at the American University in Cairo and she is absolutely brilliant. She knows the facts, stories, and local lengends like the back of her hand.

The pillar is in a really interesting area. The structure is surrounded by a wall, but right outside is the street with modern buildings and cars. This juxtaposition was very fun for me, I wish I could hang glide over the place to get a veiw of it all at once.
