We took the train to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Coast this weekend. The city was founded by Alexander the Great in around 330 BC, and was the cultural and intellectual capital of the Greek Empire. There was much to explore, and after a full day tour of all the ancient Greco-Roman sites, Cooper and Luke were rewarded with a romp on the beach.
The harbor at dusk.
Here is Cooper, in a rare moment of deep thought. Possibly about how to score his next Chicken McNugget.
Strolling along the Corniche, the coastal boulevard in Alex. Kudos to Cooper for taking this picture.
The fort at Qeit Bey, which is the site of the ancient lighthouse, which was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.
I call this one "Dude Fishing." Alex has great seafood.
Pompey's Pillar, from ancient Rome.

Josh and I are loving your pictures! It makes us look forward to getting over there eventually. I love the picture of the harbor . . . so beautiful!
