I was the only one that had signed up for this tour of Alexandria on the date of the US holiday Thanksgiving. So with just the driver, the guide and me, the guide asked me if I’d like to dispense with the scheduled tour itinerary and see Alexandria through his eyes. Of course!! It was a magical day which concluded with his version of a holiday feast at his favorite seafood restaurant. They bought me a bottle of wine on the way home to enjoy in my room. Now that’s how I define the “gratitude” we are suppose to acknowledge on this holiday!
