It’s surreal to spend New Year’s Eve sailing on the Nile river. I hope it portends further adventure in 2023, as the journey in 2022 has been full of it. I’ve been so fortunate to see so much of the world this past year. We truly live on an amazing planet, bursting with incredible life, diverse cultures and peoples, and mesmerizing natural geography. Egypt has been no exception: there’s something ethereal about the desert, and the cities evoke the timelessness of the civilization that’s been here for the past 7,000 years. I couldn’t imagine a more fitting place to reflect on the passage of time, express gratitude for all we enjoy on Earth, and to wonder about the future.
