Higher Level busy and exciting these past few days have been in From the day the first guests arrived for the Roman taxing until this very moment, all of us who work at the old inn have had little rest. So many persons of importance have stayed with us and how demanding they are! Always there were errands to be run, special foods to prepare, flagons of wine called for at all hours and a thousand extra orders.

Unconfirmed from reports Egyptian sources late Saturday night indicated that the two occupants of the commercial aircraft were Americans. The American plane was described by Egyptian police officials as a t propeller driven Fairchild.
