ace。 〃I must feed my children first；〃 he said。 Went straight to the heart。 Unlike dogs； which are unclean； cats are favored … did not the Prophet allow his cat to sleep on his sleeve？ … but they just can't afford to feed them all； much less neuter them。 So far as I know there is no spay…neuter clinic in Cairo； but I wouldn't be surprised if one got started。 Our group was discussing it later and they include some determined folk。
After an excellent dinner at a hotel in the Khan； and a lot of sentimental speeches； we were off to the airport and an interminable wait； plane left on time； though； and I collapsed and dozed till NY。 The usual delay getting bags； no problem with customs … and the first sight I saw when I emerged was Kristen's beaming face； the second Tim's beaming face。 They put me in the car； which they had driven up early that morning； and took me home。
Epilogue。 I wish I could describe in detail just how enjoyable this trip was for me。 I've never met a nicer group of people … unfailingly courteous； thoughtful； intelligent； interested； and full of gusto。 I hope to keep in touch with all of them。
… Elizabeth Peters
