August 1996 - Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great and is the second largest city in Egypt. The city lies at the western edge of the Nile River Delta, directly on the Mediterranean Sea. The population of Alexandria was 2-3 million when I visited in 1996. Now it is 5.8 billion. Wow! Other than the pyramids, I have to admit that I liked Alexandria better than Cairo. I enjoyed the time we spent exploring it.

My pictures aren't the best. They were scanned from pictures taken almost 30 years ago. Not to mention the film was probably Seattle Filmworks, a less expensive, lower quality film than Kodak.
