Egypt - Luxor

Pyramid jumping photo!! Loral, Whitney, David, Me

Yes, we're American tourists



Karnack temple

Luxor museum! A nice "air conditioned" break from the heat

Valley of the Kings - Pharoahs buried in tombs hidden in the mountain.

King Tut's tomb! The only tomb found intact.

I LOVE the hieroglyphic birds all over the temples!

Some statues... it all starts to blur by the end of the day.

Luxor

Karnack temple (carriage ride)

Luxor temple

Free time = lunch, Luxor museum, swimming/ice cream, pizza hut on carriage w/danen, quick bazaar stop

Trainride back to Cairo = so hot at station, so tired and actually sleep, beautiful scenery, hotel

Cairo = straight into touring, “habibe pharaohs”, dragging, Muhammad Ali mosque, Cairo mosque w/ mummys, Hard Rock CafĂ©, bazaar, hotel

Seriously where do all these swimsuits keep appearing from? Why don't you ever take me along when you go swimsuit shopping?

Haha I found it on sale at Nordstrom the day before we left. It was a lucky find. They have it in all different cute versions too, tankinis, orange polka dots, etc. Check it out!
