@Blaž: Great to hear from you! Hope you are doing well. All the people in that market would have fed you a most abundant breakfast.

@Erica: Being in two places at once, the travel storyteller’s dream!

@Stella: Glad you liked the panorama. Alexandria, Egypt was interesting and I imagine especially so for someone from Greece, given the city’s history.

Love these 360 panoramas and pleased to see Dan and Ralph’s adventures, while we were in the Catacombs. Wish I could have been in two places at once.

@Alicia: I can imagine that this would remind you of Morocco – hope it brought back some good memories from your time living there! And yes, we do need to get there some day – keeps coming up in conversation

So glad you are enjoying following along in our travels – really appreciate the support!

@Azeem: The countries in the Middle East have wonderful markets and a strong market culture. They are beautiful and full of energy.

beautiful Panorama. These kind of markets are seen in places like Middle East. They look very traditional and beautiful. I think they call it “Sawk” in Arabic Language. Thanks for sharing.

reminds me a lot of Morocco — you guys need to get there some day!
and I’m so glad to know you and have you to live vicariously through! (as I work on tenure-review files, syllabi, papers, diapers, teething & potty-training!)

@Michael: Traveling often remind me of the Carl Sandburg quote, “Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.” Enjoy!

Thanks Daniel! I am glad that you liked my story. Reading your panorama made me immediately think of the day my wife and I spent in Alexandria. The unplanned market experience was just about as good as any site we saw during the trip!

I am thinking of making this story into a post on my blog in the future!
