See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just
remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the
marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember
when a dream appears
You belong to me.
Did you ever, if you're anywhere near as old as I am, think about going to Algiers after hearing this song? I did. Photographs and souvenirs. Michelle has a photograph.
And now 23 are dead and 160 injured in two bombings in "old Algiers".
ALGIERS, Algeria - Bombs heavily damaged the prime minister's office and a police station Wednesday, killing at least 23 people and wounding about 160, the country's official news agency said. Al-Qaida's wing in North Africa claimed responsibility.
The song, at least, is still beautiful.
