It's been one hell of a trip so far to this, the midway point in our journey. Cairo's Islamic architecture and iconic Egyptian Museum; Aswan's Tombs of the Nobles and the swirled granite of the cataracts; Abu Simbel's Colossi and Nubian culture just to name a few highlights. The Egyptian people have been gracious and engaging. We've taken a zillion photo's and have a million more images in our heads we wish we had taken like the tractor trailer driver and his friend eating breakfast beside his truck and heartily inviting us to join them. Our delight when our host shared all his Nubian music with us, 2 memory sticks worth! Stunning sunlight that makes us rethink anew everything we'd just seen and, dazzling sunsets over the desert. Surprises and delights galore.
Our Ipads and phone cameras, laptop and handheld cameras make great recording tools but alas, they are helpless against spotty wireless or for that matter, limited opportunities for recharging. Hence the haphazard blog entries, and it may get worse before it gets better what with our coming cruise down the Nile. We'll do the best we can. Meanwhile, below are an odd selection of photo's which might amuse.
