So I blogged about these kids we met in the Desert between Suez and Neweba...

This is the little girl, the picture is kind of dark, I should have turned around and had the sun at my back but I wasn't thinking.

As you can see the sand here is just hard packed and full of garbage and oil. She and her brother had no shoes and really disgustingly dirty clothing on.

This is not very uncommon to see in Egypt, the cities are quite bad and generally the children really harass tourists, but here they were very quiet and kept away until we called them over.

It's sort of messed up because generally if you give them pens or trinkets then they will get used to bugging tourists for stuff. But we gave them food only so I think it is a good idea, they ran off to this cement block by the road and ate all the bread and cheese we gave them.
