So I'm walking along the River Nile, thinking about palm trees. I think I would like to live where there are palms. It's such a tropical thing. It's not that I want to climb them or eat coconuts or anything. We all know how loaded palm oil is with saturated fats. I just I like the IDEA of living among the palms.
Funny thing is, although you would think of Egypt as a more or less tropical country, it is fairly chilly here these days. About 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Funny that palms can survive in weather this cold.
Out of the corner of my eye I spied this positively perfect palm. The fronds were just too uniform. Closer inspection will reveal a communications tower. The somewhat more ragged example was about 20 meters away.

Palm trees are great it is the coconuts you have to watch out for! You can't believe the number of people who have been injured by falling coconuts.
