I've been remiss!

Not only in posting about my trip, but about my "regular" life as well.
I've been to a couple concerts (the Chicago Symphony and the Newberry Consort), a couple of operas (Mose in Egitto and Giasone), both at Chicago Opera Theatre, and a play (The Good Negro, at Goodman, which was absolutely awesome and I highly recommend it!).
My friend H. is in town to spend Mother's Day with her mother and daughter, and last night we all had dinner together, along with another friend. That was great fun, as I don't get to see her that often, but we will see each other again when I go to New York.
Today, I have been doing stuff around the house. Enough light bulbs were out to warrant getting out the stepladder and hauling it from room to room, and I did some sweeping and mopping. (Isn't this exciting?) I also went to Office Depot and bought three plastic storage containers. So instead of being in bags and falling all over my junk closet, my packing materials and wrapping paper and stuff are all neatly ensconced in stacked containers. The closet actually looks relatively neat, though it still needs a bit more work.
As I was putting things away, I came across, and scanned, a framed photo which I think is one of the best I've ever taken. I took it nearly thirty years ago, on a trip to Egypt:
