Egypt, views from the Nile River & Aswan

We spent several hours each day traveling down the Nile River. It was fascinating, slowly, peacefully, moving along, watching these wonderful scenes go by. I will let the pictures below tell the rest of store.

    Did you try your hand at sailing one of those felucca boats? You 2 could have shown your skills. Another great blog. Be safe.

    So peaceful and beautiful:) After teaching ancient history for a few years, it was a nice feeling to be virtually on the river of so much history.Thanks for the views.
