I just saw a poster for the King Tut Exhibit at The De Young Museum in San Francisco. It reminded me of my trip to Egypt to create the book, “Journey Up the Nile”. When I saw King Tut he was in glass case in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. I loved the Egyptian Museum. It reminded me of one of the Indiana Jones movies. It was old, dark and a bit dusty. There were Egyptologists sitting next to open cases studying the artifacts. No one seemed very excited that someone might break something. I thought this was extraordinary and I loved it. I just looked at some pictures of the Egyptian Museum and it looks like they cleaned the museum up, it looks brighter and newer. I am sure this is better for the collection, but I feel lucky to have seen it old and dusty. I loved Egypt so we have a Egyptian section in the store. I am always looking for unusual things from or about Egypt. We have a tomb painted on the wall, a life size camel and a sarcophagus.
My trip to Egypt is the book “Journey Up The Nile”. It is told from the perspective of Reginald. It does seem a bit unusual to take a Teddy bear on a trip, especially a 100 year old, very valuable Steiff Teddy Bear. It turns out that a Teddy bear is a great way to make instant friends wherever you go. The Egyptians loved him. You can read all about this extraordinary trip in the book, “Journey Up the Nile”.
That’s me on the camel, a real camel. You can see Reginald/Reggie the Teddy hanging out of the Ghurka Backpack. Even the camel was interested in seeing Reggie.
We always have interesting things from Egypt in our store inventory.
