Another fantastic blog.
I do imagine it was unsettling for you to pop up in some of these places-- don't imagine the archeologists have many visitors. Laughed at your travel permit process...fantastic! Loved every single photo. Your portrait work is wonderful. Enjoyed the highlights and lowlights. We won't be traveling again until August but hopefully you'll enjoy and follow along. Keep your wonderful blogs coming.

Thanks For Reading
wow - I have the attention of the three main bloggers on here (Dancing Dave, Travel Camel & D MJ Binkley). What an honor, thanks guys. I plan to write a separate blog about the Nile Ferry Company when I get a chance, especially the brawl in First Class!
