Farewell to Egypt....

This is known as 'The Valley of the Vultures'

everytime we walk through a market area- we are

swarmed upon!

This cute little girl was waving at

our bus as we drove by!

'Colossi of Memnon'
This boy jumped in the picture and of
course wanted money to do it. At this point
he was cute too and it was our last day!


'Karnak'

This area was huge and very impressive!


The obelisk in the background is blocked

by this wall of stones !

Found out one of the rulers didn't like his

mother in law and after she died instead of

tearing it down he tried to block it so it wouldn't

be seen! Little did he know he was actually

protecting it :)

The guy to the left wanted to be in the picture-
we said no and he managed to stay in anyway!

On our last day the tanks were rolling in.....

This was our fun group-

Back (L to R): Robin, Harold, Tim, Steve, Ray

(Front) Shirlianne, Diane, Donna, Nancy, Sharon

(our guide) Ahmed

Here we are prepared to spend the night in the airport!

This is what we felt like......

Many of you have asked how we made it out, etc.

It was an adventure- we had a great tour and made

friends along the way. After a long time in the airport,

delayed flight, crazy bus drive with a minor accident,

throwing our luggage onto the conveyor belt, more lines,

our flight being changed, fighting the massive elbow to

elbow crowd to get to the passport control, waiting to

board, sitting on the plane for over an hour and then

finally flying to Rome, on to NYC and then home!

Never so glad to touch American soil....

We are still glad we went and felt a part of this

important time in Egypt's history!

We had alot more pictures but this will have to do!

Thanks for coming along.....
