Helene Holmes Haase Gouead 3/5/2004 Marriage in Egypt This winter I decided
to stay in Egypt for six weeks, and spent time with friends in the Sinai.
While I was here I went horseback riding in the Sinai. This led to my
marrying the stable owner. Moustafa and I were married on January 3. I returned to the
States for a month on January 11, and then came back here February 8. I don't know how this
is all going to work out in the long run, but for now I am very happy.
Egyptian men are very romantic. As far as I can tell,
he doesn't have any other wives right now, although he did offer to marry
my sister if she wants to come over. The green part of
the picture is the edge of the village, which is in the Nile Delta and
very lush. There is a dramatic break where the desert suddenly changes
to village. There are dozens of excavations going on of tombs and old
pyramids. |
