Bumper sticker idea: Ankh if you love Egypt! 🤣

In honor of Tax Day in the USA, here’s an Egyptian scribe recording tax information as seen at Sakkara in the Tomb of the Princess Seshseshet Idut
[Dynasty 6, Reign of King Teti (c.2345-2323 BC)]

Egypt and cats sure go together. Carol took us to a cafe where the cats were happy and well-fed. I even saw some sitting in people’s laps!

It’s just another day at the office for Tharwat on the streets of Cairo!

As you can see from the photo above, EgyptAir kicked off our trip by teaching us the ancient hieroglyph for “no smoking.”

@KandtRw Ah,ok. I’ll look at my local Walmart once I’m home. (At first it caught my eye because the buggy reminded me of Pac-Man.)

Saw this sign in Walvis Bay, Namibia. Seems quite nice!

No sooner had we entered the gates of West Cemetery on the island of Mauritius than a pack of dogs eagerly trotted in behind us. They were clearly hoping for handouts!

A KFC bucket in Indonesia looks a little different than in the USA, eh? In Texas, we get free tea refills. But here? Free rice refills are the big lure!

A flock of noisy wild cockatoos kept me company as I explored historic Manly Cemetery in Sydney, Australia today. Gorgeous trees and Victorian monuments galore!

This piece in Milan’s Monumental Cemetery  marks the grave of Umberto Fabé, an aviator who died in a plane accident at 24.

@d_shaw @TheHatton The pelican symbolizes Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. 🕊️ According to legend, a mother pelican would pierce her chest to feed her young with her blood—a powerful image of Christ's love for humanity. #Christianity #cemetery #symbol (Thanks, Dan!)
