Thanks, Bob! I did better than take notes, I took pictures. Notes
are what you do "in class". I could have been scribbling the entire
time and never looked up. Believe me when I say that those tour
guides are so knowledgeable - you go on information overload after a
while.

Unlike here in the states, the tour guides we've had so far have
actually studied their subject and had to pass tests to be in the
business. The one yesterday (Cairo) is going for the equivalent of a
master's degree. After she gets it (in an estimated two years time),
she'll be qualified to be an independent tour guide.
