A kind of an expedition into the recreational habits of a faded civilization

Great line! The story reminds me of going to Indian Princess camp (YMCA) at a converted honeymoon resort in the Poconos.

Thank you! I've actually been to Cairo, and I was being kind in the description. The hotel room was one I stayed at in the town of East Durham. It's like going back in time. These places must have been something in their heyday.

So Indian Princess camp? That sounds interesting... lol!

Indian Princesses and Indian Guides were scouting groups run by the YMCA. Not sure they have them anymore.

Thanks! I never heard of them before. I was never in the scouts.
