62.Grab your Kiffeyeh, it’s time for the desert

Elvis spent the whole week watching Emma Lee write a chapter about the DESERT. Specifically, Israel and Egypt in the mid 1950s. They went to the NYPL yesterday and read “Rivers in the Desert,” a history of the Negev desert settlements, from cover to cover. It was really neat, Elvis especially liked the idea of the wadi.

It’s hot enough to be the desert in Brooklyn this week. HEAT WAVE. Good thing that Elvis and Emma Lee are off to go camping in the Rockaways. Wish them luck!
