Internet access has proven to be problematic in the Middle East. Fortunately, I was able to hop on here at the "internet center" at the hotel we are staying at in Cairo.
To fill in, we spent several days in Jerusalem seeing the sites and trying not to loose anyone. We were successful at both.
Jerusalem is as beautiful as I remember it, and I still love the city. They are building like crazy there, but the Old City is as timeless as ever.
I think I am close to 3,000 pictures now. I love having a digital camera because I can capture anything that catches my interest. It has been great taking pictures of the sites, but also the city and the people.
We are now in Cairo. It too is just as I remember it: hot, loud, and dirty. At least this time we are staying in high end hotels. We will be here until 5:00am tomorrow, when we will fly to Luxor to catch a boat that will take us up the Nile, ending in Aswan (I think. Yesterday I thought we were doing the opposite - going to Aswan and floating to Luxor). The boat is supposed to be 5 star, so we will see.
Today we are going to see the pyramids, then relax and rest. We got in at 4 this morning, so Dr. House and I are a little tired.
I might try posting again, though it might have been a fluke that I was able to use the internet this morning.

"You know, evil comes in many forms, be it a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin. But you can't let the package hide the pudding. Evil is just plain bad. You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it on the nose with the rolled up newspaper of goodness. Bad dog! Bad dog!" -The Tick
