Alexandria on my mind
I started there in Alexandria the bride of the Mediterranean like we call it there. I can't find the right word to describe this place. You have to be there to feel it, but like I said in the beginning I started from there like any child has dreams and hopes. I remember when I was 7 years old I use to help my friends in the neighborhood decorating the street we were living in because we are waiting for ramadan month which is a big holy month for the moslems over there and everywhere, even in the U S A . Usually what I use to do after the decoration is taking a long walkie on the Cornish road which is the beach, smell the air who comes from the sea. unforgettable. And then, little by little, the 7 year old boy got older and moved from the city he loved and came back but he never ever forgot it. We have a saying in Alexandria about the Alexandrian people. They are like the fish who can't live away from the sea specially the Alexandrian sea. Friends, Love, Family, Sadness, happiness all of that there in the sea and the truth is the sea is one from the best secret keepers. Personally I have talked with him many times and he never said to any one what I said to him. WoW, what a Friend!
