Felluca, Just Like Heaven

So you can go to the pier by the Nile, you know, the one just past the TGIFriday's, and rent a Felluca. Leah and I were invited for a quiet evening with some friends who had planned on going. So everybody brings a beverage or some food and then you just sit back, relax and watch the world slowly float by. The sunset was amazing, as you can see.

We were invited by the nicest couple, Bob and Martha, who were so generous and helpful while all the newbies got settled. They had also invited Nancy, the woman who put Leah and I up for nearly two weeks, and another friend of theirs who Leah and I had never met. "The Family" was also invited. They were the second-to-last folks to find an apt. The third to last group, three guys who decided to team up, were known as "they guys". Leah and I were, you guessed it, "the girls"... so Leah and I really bonded with "the family" (Marian, Steve, Babbet and Raul) during the last couple of days of apartment hunting, and it's always a treat to hand out with them. Their kids are so great. They've lived all over, Amsterdam, central Africa, etc. and seem to just "go with the flow".
This is the very sweet Babbet (left) and (right) a photo of Raul and Martha.


















I was in a picture taking mood since I've not been toting the camera around as much lately, so here are several from the Felluca Evening. :) Babbet looks just like her father, Steve, and Raul looks just like his mother, Marian.












We only stayed out an hour and a half, but it was perfect! A little wine, some hummus, pita, cheese, etc, the sunset, a festive wedding celebration after dark on the bank nearby.... ahhhhhh. If I didn't feel lucky before...









I think this family lives on this boat. I was just snapping away, and didn't realize the little girl was putting her nickers back on until looking at the photo on the computer.









Thanks for the invitation Bob and Martha! You made my weekend!
