| Karnak Temple at night |
Now! The real LIVING HISTORY that is Egypt. It's hard to wrap your head around 2,000 B.C. in the structures within arm's length. The unexpected truth of our whole experience in Egypt at this time is the overwhelming feeling of patriotism, of possibility, and the overall graciousness by which we, as American tourists, were received. The energy of revolution/evolution was in the air. It was strange to have to separate our anticipated angst from the on-the-ground reality. The media does exacerbate the tensions in our world. As anxious as we were, I'm so glad George & I took the leap of faith...even committing (knees knocking) to the propeller charter plane from Luxor to Cairo that unexpectedly gave us a bird's eye view of the Pyramids....so worth it!
Since filling you with dynasty and funerary facts might lead to an endless epic...Please just enjoy the pix!
