to the day, I left for the small town of Ismailia, Egypt. I left September 15, 1988. I flew on a TWA flight to New York, then JAL (Yugoslav Airways) to Belgrade, Yugoslavia. This was before the fall of the Berlin wall. The USSR was still in power and I was behind the iron curtain. I had a 12 hour layover in Belgrade, so I took a bus into town and ate at McDonald’s. I assume it was a communist McDonald’s. 😀
I then flew onto Cairo, and took a bus to Ismailia. I arrived some time on the 17th. I traveled with a fellow missionary named Blaine. We were both going to teach at an English language school. I ended up teaching math. I do not recall what Blaine taught. Egypt was a great experiance and would not trade it for anything. I ended up falling in love with some girl named Debbi while I was over there too. It was an amazing journey, that is now 20 years old. I wonder what the next 20 will hold.
