In Aswan

Hi all! In Aswan now which is on the south end of the nile. We got up at 3 a.m. this morning and joined a convoy to Ambul Simbal, the tombs of Ramisis (sp?). They were FANTASTIC! Amazing carvings inside and out... The weather here is ideal. We spent most of yesterday sailing on a felucca on the Nile. They let me sail as well. It's a lot harder on your back. I had to prop my feet against the side of the boat and push against the ruter with my body to keep the boat in the right direction. I spent this afternoon by the pool at our hotel...it's so beautiful here. I've been having fun learning basic Arabic. Sorry this is another short note. I'll try to write more tomorrow. I need to meet everyone for dinner now. Lots of Love!!!
