Temple of Edgy

---

This morning we visited the Temple of Edfu by horse and carriage. Our horse’s name was Rambo, the driver a young boy of maybe 16yrs. According to him Rambo is number 1.
The temple of Edfu is unique as it is intact and almost in its original form. The construction began about 237 B.C. and was finished in 57 B.C. It is dedicated to the god Horus, the sacred hawk, usually represented by a hawk-headed man. Every available surface is carved with hieroglyphs describing offerings to the god.
The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing by the pool. We passed through the locks of Edna and as the boat was approaching the locks some vendors in small boats came close to our boat to sell their goods. They throw things at us, if you don’t want it you throw it back, if you want it how you throw money back in a bag that is going back. A few people made purchases.
