Our journey today took us on a 30 minute flight from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Can I just say OMG!!!!! Most fascinating temples of all right on lake Nasser. They are Nubian monuments carved during the reign of Ramses II. After a couple of hours at the temples we flew back to our ship and later took a felucca ride around Elephantine Island (with armed escort in tow). After returning from the felucca ride Mom and I walked to the Aswan market - the vendors are relentless. So much fun haggling over prices. They would say "hey I don't know what you want but I've got it." Spices, scarves, papyrus, alabaster galore. Yes, we've done our share of helping the economy. Lots of long days!!!!
