| Egyptian straw hat Bought this one on Kitchener Island, situated in the middle of the Nile River by Aswan, Egypt. The island has one of the most beautiful botanical gardens I’ve ever seen—plus the obligatory souvenir hawkers. The hat later proved very useful as Rick, the amateur Egyptologist, studied the ruins. |
