OK, I am down some back street in Luxor and found an internet. We got on the boat, a quite upper class boat trip but really relaxing. Heat, we have had some quite hot days, nights are cool.
Aswan was a beautiful city, morris think of the Valencia and sister city thrown together. Wow you should experience the aggresive street sellers here, I mean aggressive but you can get through them. Market street in Aswan was a zoo, I must be Hogan by now in fact. By the way, peas soaked in a pepper brine go well with beer. Try Arabic web sites with arabic writing someimte.
Abdul, our leader is fantastic. Other guides have also been good.
OK, temples, some are fantastic but I’m getting a little templed out. The Amon Ra here at Luxor is wow awesome though, best so far with the previous being Ramses II as mentioned.
Nubian village at Aswan was an experience as was wandering back streets here in Luxor. I did do a camel ride, try it sometime, different. Most of these will require better explanations when I get home. By the way, do not ever plan this trip in summer as it is busy now, can you imagine the crowds at busy time. Also, walking a temple at 45???

It’s inbe;ievable how high a percentage call me Hogan. Next most often is moustache.

So the Hogan thing isn’t just South America then. Funny, the bits of American pop culture that get remembered half-way around the world.
Yay, you uploaded some pictures! How close to all of the pyramids and statues were you allowed to get? Looks like they really padded the seat for you on the camel, next you’ll have to try bare-back.
