Egypt
Let me start by saying that we were not on a tour, we were in Egypt to visit a friend (well, Julie was, I was there to see the sights). Our travels were mostly in and around Cairo, anywhere you could go by taxi or walking. Therefore, we did not make it to Luxor, Thebes, or the Island of Philae (next time I guess). But, because we were not on a tour, we got to live the LIFE for two weeks. we stayed in a 'flat', ate the food, etc.
All of this is taken from my hand written diary that I kept along the way. All are my exact feelings at the time we were there, not now.
This is my tale of Egypt.

Hi Judy...nice pictures...need MORE!
I saw on the History channel a special on the construction of the pyramids and the Sphynx. Experts in ancient history commented that the skills of the people at the time of the construction of those wonders should not have been adequate for the times. In other words, how they did it is really a mystery, but then ancient Egypt is certainly not an open book anyway. One of the greatest tragedies in history was the destruction of the world library in Alexandria.
