Egypt Update 02

We have been in Aswan for yesterday and today. Today was pretty relaxing, we took a walk up to the Nubian Museum. Man, its hot out even in the morning. Then we saw the unfinished obelisk in the afternoon. We waited until later (for it to cool down) until we headed out again, this time out to Elephantine Island to visit the Nubian Villages.

We will be leaving for Abu Simbel at 3am tomorrow morning (that's where they have Ramsee's temple.) Then later tomorrow, we will be catching a boat -- known as the felucca -- and crusing the Nile for about 2 days and 2 nights until we reach Luxor (where there is the Valley of the Kings).

We have taken a lot of pictures and are getting a little tired of the heat and the temples, but they are still cool none the less. The 2 days on the felucca will be a good break from sight seeing, and just crusing the Nile should be aweome. Though 2 days of no showering is not exactly my cup of tea, but I guess that's the price of the cruise.

We had some really good Egyptian food today. I had pigeon, for the first time. I also bought some spices from the market place last night. My mom would really like it here. They bargain here like no tomorrow. Although it is interesting and fun, it is also very tiring.

Until then, goodnite, and take care!
