Having gone through a personally difficult time, I treated myself to a vacation that included a Nile River cruise. There were dozens of diesel fueled boats that cruised down the river together, not quite theAgatha Christie novel experience I had imagined. However, the exoticness of the people who live and work on the river was not a disappointment. This boat’s pilot and crew were kind enough to allow an American woman visit the wheelhouse and photograph them.
