  Nile Swim Taking the Plunge Tue 22 Feb 2005

The Nile
The Nile
It's late afternoon when I get in from college. Only Margie is at home. She is concerned there is still no gas and tries to persuade me we should do something about it; she settles for calling the landlord.

It is about 6pm, still 30 minutes or so before sunset. I am hot and sticky and tell her how I wish there was somewhere nearby where we could go for a swim. She suggests the Nile. It's an attractive proposition and if she's up for it, then count me in. We jump into a passing rickshaw (three wheeler moped) and head down to the river for a plunge. It is delightful.
