back in Luxor

We are just back in Luxor and have gone up to Quena and spent last night and went to the temple of Dendera this morning. The river boat is fabulous. Sailing up and back on the Nile is just awesome. It is the best riverboat we have done. You can just imagine life in Bible times and we have enjoyed it so much. The boat does not have heat and wish they had told us that as we have worn jackets far more than we expected. It has not been that cold but without a place to get really warm, it has been hard to warm up! The houses are made of mud just like you imagine and we have seen some awesome birds. Yes, the vendors are worse than even Morocco. The food is good and I am faring well in that dept. The staff here has been fabulous and we have enjoyed the group very much. Luxor has several places we will go to in the next day or two and then we will fly back to Cairo on Friday. Can't wait to post some photos so you can see our Galabaya night and some of our other fun things. Jim fell getting off the bus yesterday and is quite sore. He fell on his bad leg and we think it is just bruised badly and we were lucky but it shook both of us up. Will write more later but more are waiting for the one good computer! Love to hear from you all!
