Nash and Scotty on there way down from Jerusalem had a brief stopover in Gaza, MAN! it's amazing how small and how precious the land's are here, compared 2 the next part of the "Tour",.......the ride down the East African Continent, Yeeeees! all the way 2 Cape Town, 4 the "World Cup" YO!!!!!!!! after a day in Alexandria, the Buddies settled in Cairo 4 two FRIGGIN day's, YEH! they have the "BigSHOW" in mind Bro! BUT! agony of the tour, is that this freakin world is one helluva Jewel, and that schedules kill, ScottyBro had just finished reading the story of Eben Battutah a fourteenth Century muslim from Tangiers, Who! One day took off,......and didn't return home 4,....... 29 YEARS!, at the time this was one of the greatest journey's by a human being, (Maybe it still is) his journey was 75000 MILES!!!!!!!! it encompassed the whole known world as it was in those day's, Remember this was B/4 Columbus!, MAN! wouldn't it B great 2 have that feedom Bro!, Nash was saying 2 Scotty, thank god 4 freakin Dreams, just east of Cairo, it can B seen from the balcony of there Hotel U can see one of theee "Wonders" of the ancient world, Some Say!...the greatest, certainly the oldest, and,and the first iconic Architectural image EVER!!!!, This day was spent visiting the "Pyramids" and the Great Sphinx, as a boy Scotty had seen the images of tourists on Camel's at the great site, and unlike Napoleon, he just wanted 2 trip out on the Giza Plateau, on the Ship of the Desert, the first MEGA construction site in the world, has a way of putting U in your place Bro! EVERYTHING seems so inconsequential after this, Nash and Scotty kept saying, How the friggin Hell did they do it! SHOOT! our 2 hero's said it was better 2 leave it with the god's,,or at least Expert's in the field, WHATEVER! the 2 Scottish "TartanARMY" travellers were going 2 honor one of the first dynamic civilizations, by doing a duete of "Flower of Scotland" at the Great Sphinx, and the Great Pyramid of Cheopp's, most of the tourist's stood in amazement at the wonderment of the site, the incredible structures!...and the rendition of "Flower of Scotland" as an accompinement, the dynamic duo have another day full of Question''s, ScottyBro feel's that one of the languages of Egypt is FAQ's? one never get's away from it, the old "Who?What?Where?Why?and When? was born on the shores of the great Nile, many thousand's of years ago, it's amazing how the "ScottyTOPS" that ScottyBro and Nash are wearing are the magnate 4 the kids, that and Scotty's "Carrot Top" yuk,yuk, But! in whole up till now he and Nash have had a great response from the different country's that they have visited, just maybe because we Scot's have come as travellers in history, and not as conquering and pillaging fiend's, and I might add they R very eager 2 help in any way, St.Andrews best friend must have been St. Christopher me thinks, said Nash.
