I have about 4 minutes to summarize today, so here goes: Rode a felucca to the West side of the Nile in Luxor,raced a donkey named Casablanca while screeming, "hop,hop ya Law! Habibi," - Hurry up, let's go, love(platonic)- visted the Valley of the kings where we toured 3 of the 12 open tombs (the place has 67 total). Took the donkeys to the alabaster museum where I lingered a little too long and Khaled and the donkey master had to come back for me. Saw Hep...???'s tmb (Sorry, I'll have to look up the name of the female pharoah later), Hung off the back of a jail truck back to the Nile, took a felucca back to the east side, ate delicious Kosher, took a horse carriage ride to Karnac (more ruins), took a horse carriage home. Practice my haggling skills on the drive..I still need a little work.
Fast and furious blog here as I'm off to catch the night train to Cairo. Having an incredible time!! Should have more time to respond to email tomorrow. Lots of Love, Habibi!
