Boat Trip Along the Nile

---

Aloha!

Today is a day for blog entries, to be sure. I have to catch you all up on what's been happening! 😊

The other day, as my friends Cindy, Ashraf and I sat around sipping tea, we were commenting on what a beautiful day it was. The Nile was calm and deep blue and it was cool outside with a very light wind. Cindy decided it was the perfect day to take me down the Nile River.

We met up with their friend Tutu for a cruise. He is a lovely gentleman, very kind and hospitable. There are chairs and a separate place to lounge on the top of his boat.

We headed down the Nile, with both Ashraf and Cindy pointing out all the amazing tombs and houses along the way. We encountered several types of birds catching fish, sunning on the rocks and flying by.

We stopped at a great spot on the Sahara Desert, where locals and friends of Cindy were selling their wares - lovely handmade jewelry and glass items. I definitely spent more than intended, but I still got very good deals from the men and buying in Egypt is so inexpensive compared to the States!

At one point, Cindy was offered 1,000 camels for my hand in marriage! lol

We cruised some more and ended up stopping at a Nubian village where we were offered Hibiscus tea and some more opportunity to buy wares. 😊

Then we headed out for sunset and dinner at a restaurant on the Nile.

The food is so good here and reminds me of 'home'.
