Egypt 2010 - Come follow us!

Coming to you from the Nile

This will be a quick post as our cruise ship is leaving at 8pm. The past few days have been absolutely amazing . . . to say the least. It seems like we have been moving at warp speed the past few days but have seen and done some of the most amazing things one could want to do in a lifetime. Here are a few pictures of the events from the past few days. We have visited the giant pyramids at Giza - and actually went inside Khafre's Pyramid at one point. We visited the Egyptian museum and saw thousands of Egyptian articfacts spanning thousands of years. We took a quick flight (30 min.) today to Abu Simbel and spent a long time taking pictures of one of the most breathtaking places in all of the world. We then took a quick flight back to Aswan and will be departing for Luxor this evening. Everyone is having a great time and basking in the HOT Egyptian sun (about 108 degrees the past few days) with much water and air conditioning. Sorry this post is so short but our boat leaves the dock in 22 minutes and we probably need to be on it;) I will be sure to provide all of the details as soon as we return to Cairo in a few days.
