Post #4 

   Well the months passed and my travels went on and on, and even for a while in Tunis I stayed at a university! Then, I came to Libya and my travels were interrupted, when I met a Tunisian man who offered me his daughter for marriage. I was a bit surprised, but of course, said yes, and we were married. But then, on the night after the marriage I got into a disagreement with the father, and I returned the girl. There was another marriage after that, but again, I had separated with the girl and left. I left and traveled on and then I reached Alexandria, Egypt. Oh what a sight! It was busy with traders and the port was full with merchants and ships importing and of course, exporting. Egypt at this time is one of the most important regions for trade. I then toured the Pharos Lighthouse, and it was such a sight. I told stories and legions of Sufi Beliefs. I then passed Cairo, and saw the pyramids, which was so brilliant! Of course the pyramids were not done building yet, but I was so amazed by the teamwork of the workers, who put together brick-by-brick to make such an amazing yet ENORMOUS wonder of the world. You should have seen it! The pyramid was so perfectly aligned and so perfect in its shape that you would be SURPRISED that it was made by humans!
