The Great Tao doth provide

// September 18th, 2005 // Travel

Two wonderful weeks in Africas biggest city led me to believe that I would not find the mental space I sought there- so I have turned north, towards the Mediterranean where for thousands of years people have sat and drank juice/traded grain/compiled existing written knowledge/looked up and thought “hmmm”. I have come to rest in fair Alexandria- or “al-ʼIskandariyyah”- a “little place” of only 3.5 million (or 6, or 9 depending on the city limits). I have only been here a few days but from the moment I felt the warm sea breeze I knew that this is the place I came for. Much more to write in days to come, but so far Im set up in my own wonderful apartment 5 minutes from the sea so there is plenty of everything for all. A salute to Deinocrates of Rhodes, committee president of the “Found Alexandria” project.
