Thank You Alexandria. Hope To See You Again.
As we were about to enter the port (needs to sign out - sign in), I looked behind me and saw this sight. I found Alexandria very charming, even their streets not facing the waterfront.
Also I spotted the Port Authority Museum, which we didn't visit.
This is the way back to the ship - about a 15-minute walk from the gate.
And what do you know, inside the port there was a outdoor marketplace selling jewelry, souvenir items, and knick knacks. I purchased a little souvenir for me - a pair of earrings.
I liked the juxtaposition of Alexandria skyline and the end (can't remember my naval term) of the boat.
With this post, I bid Alexandria adieu. A new series next post.
And thank you for this photographic tour of Alexandria. It was a pleasure to visually explore this ancient city through your pictures. =)

ReplyDeleteYou've brought back so many memories of the crusies I have taken in my lifetime, Maria...all of which were wonderful in every way. I don't know if I'll ever make it to this neck of the woods, though it's not that far from me now. At least I have seen it through your wonderful eyes. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLike very much this serie
ReplyDeleteWow! This wasn't what I expected Alexandria to look like. But I guess I still hold some outdated notion of what it's about.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't visited sooner. But many thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
That last shot is great! What a huge boat! Love it...
