This week I am in the process of buying a piece of land near the 
pyramids of Dahshur outside of Cairo on which I plan to build a very 
small house and install my dogs, parrots and horses.  The land is just 
over an acre, which will not provide  grazing but will allow the horses 
to hang out in paddocks under the palm trees, which is infinitely 
preferable to living in boxes.  This whole enterprise is a novel 
experience to me, having only once before been involved in the purchase 
of the family house in Canada, and compared to buying land and building 
on it in North America or Europe, I daresay that many others will find 
it a rather novel experience as well.

I'm taking photos of the different aspects of the process and posting 
them on my website with explanations so that anyone who is interested 
can sort of play along vicariously....and I'm willing to bet that there 
will be many times when I'm wishing I was in the vicarious crowd.  
Winter is setting in for a lot of you Ridecampers, so I thought I'd 
invite you to share my adventure.  The website is www.alsorat.com and 
for some bizarre reason when the home page opens there is no link to 
the new Dahshur pages.  If you go to one of the other links, you will 
then find the link for moving to Dahshur....go figure.  Hopefully, soon 
I will get the glitch sorted out, but in the meantime you have the 
explanation.  Al Sorat means "the way" or "the path" in Arabic, BTW.

Enjoy,

Maryanne
Cairo, Egypt
