Egypt, The Cliff's Notes Version

We're going to try and post pictures this weekend but wanted to post some of our favorite stories for you.

• Not only did we see the pyramids but we got to go inside to the King's chamber. For those of you who don't know I am ridiculously claustrophobic. I had to psyche myself with a little Rocky movie and run/crawl through the pyramids looking only down. The only thing that got me through was my group's constant signing of the Indiana Jones theme music. There is just something uneasy about being in a 1x 1.5 meter tunnel under 40 million tons of rock.
• Standing in the Nile on the 4th of July (also dancing the cotton eye joe on our cruise ship that night)
• Spending the afternoon drinking mint tea in a Nubian village on the banks of the Nile.
• Swimming in the pool on our cruise ship watching the banks of the Nile and seeing random ruins.
• The Valley of the Kings. Despite being 120 + degrees those tombs were really impressive
• Taking a horse drawn carriage through the market in Luxor. The spices and fabrics were amazing and sugar cane juice was delicious.
• Eating at McDonalds (don't judge, it was great having ice in our coke) over looking Luxor temple.
• Watching the sun rise and set over the Nile everyday.
  
• Hearing the calls to prayer everyday and getting to go into an amazingly beautiful Mosque.

There is a ton more to tell and eventually we will get to posting the stories and pictures.
