Turn right at the Narmer Palette
June 19, 2007 - Cairo, Egypt
I have arrived at the museum. It is hotter than I thought possible here, I'm soaked with sweat, but you know what, I don't really care. The walk from my hotel to the museum takes about 10 minutes and is down a street which is lined with auto repair shops and parts stores. To get here, though, I have to cross a very busy street and there are...
