May I proffer a truncated version of my trip to lands brown and arid?
It was brown, arid (maybe you already got that), fast, slow, fattening, slimming, wet, salty, vegetarian, fishy, meaty, hairy, large, larger, small, frictional, factional, modern, ancient, and everything in-between; and we experienced friendship, suspicion, brotherhood, sisterhood, fraternity, fraternizing sexuality, happy, boisterous Poles, strutting, drunk Russians, and tanned, perfumed Italians, honesty, Mafiosos, swindlers, embraces, pyramids, a Sphinx or two, camels, Bedouins, falafels, yeast and no yeast, Arafat, high-speed buses and nocturnal oil slicks in the - you'll pardon the expression - dead of night, visions of God and face-to-face encounters with the same, spice, no sleep, insomnia, more insomnia, skin, clothes, coral reefs, fish, fowl, war, the threat of war, retaliation, reconciliation, olive branches, strawberries baklava, and Egyptian tea.
More to come..............
