Loved Alexandria

I didn't expect to find Egypt

Before leaving me, be sure that my soul will not follow you.Before living my heart be sure that you are not the city that I didn't except to find.Where are de going with all these modern building and architectures which are killing our story ..... Alexandria, as if it were yesterday, I remember myself in that Roman theatre which, with its marble seats and the most beautiful view that I had been offered, could only stimulate my pen. Through Pompey's Column and the necropolises, I became attached to you and your rich history. But the modernity that imposes itself on you in every aspect saddens me so much because I prefer you, the beautiful ancient Alexandria.
