- Cairo, Egypt at the Citadel
Leaving for Egypt tomorrow, which is Thanksgiving Day. Lots to do in the meantime. Had to expedite the renewal of my passport which cost me some $$. Now I have an empty book as opposed to one that is filled with VISA’s from the off-the-beaten track destinations I used to frequent with my groups. The old passport represents evidence of a life well-traveled. The new passport is a second chance at another beginning. It just occurs to me that the first VISA in my old passport was to Egypt! They say there are no coincidences in life…..

Plenty of Vitamin D out here!
Yesterday drove out to Kenner Ranch located 4 miles south of Julian with Rhana for a horseback ride with Kathleen and Diane. After loading up the horses into their trailer we headed out into the Cleveland National Forest. It was a great opportunity to get some fresh air and vitamin D. As you can tell by this photo, we are all duded up with our cowboy hats and Ariat riding boots. As Woody Allen said 80 percent of success is showing up. Rhana and I agree, but would like to add that the remaining 20% of success is dressing the part!. Up for a ride and live in San Diego County? Visit (http://www.kennerhorseranch.com) and book a ride up in our local mountains.
