Mody..

We arrived in Aswan early in the morning. We decided to meet at noon for our tour of the city. Our hotel had a great view overlooking the Nile. It was beautiful! We wandered the city, and had lunch. I walked the markets with Angelina and Paul. The men would all comment to Paul what a lucky man he was to have two wives. Then they would follow it up with the question....how many camels did you pay? Angelina and I were more and more offended as the day went by. One man laughed and said he had lost 20% of his business asking this question, but it did not stop him from asking. Later we would discover this was a valid question in their culture. A Muslim man can have up to four wives as long as he can afford them. When a Muslim man asks for a woman's hand in marriage he buys her a camel /camels, gives her money or gold.
Later that night we went to a Nubian Village for dinner, learned about their culture, and had a camel trek. I for one have had my share of camel rides. The camels in India were

Cruising down the Nile is a magical experience, we moored at Edfu, received a wake up call at 7ish and ducked down for a buffet breakfast. After breakfast we headed ashore to visit the well preserved Temple of Horus, considered one of the finest examples of temple construction!

Later on that night we enjoyed a fancy-dress party with of course a Egyptian theme. By the end of the night we arrived at the city of Luxor, truly a beautiful city.

Temple of Horus at Edfu
This is one of the best if not the best temple structure in all of Egypt. it's amazing... and huge

Temple of Horus at Edfu
An example of the other religions damage... this is more than usual but in general they systematically pick away at the faces - arms and legs.

much more healthier (a surprise) than the camels in Egypt. We all had great fun dancing with the children in the village.

Later when I arrived back to my hotel room, I received a call from a man. He said he had seen me earlier in the day and wanted to invite me for a drink. I asked where he had seen me and he explained it was while I was going up the stairs to my room. He said he had been waiting for me to return to my room. This scared me. I had no idea who he was. I started to wonder if he had been calling or watching my room. He said he was Egyptian and worked as a tour guide. I thanked him, said I was flattered, but I needed to get up early the next morning to catch a flight. ( I was flying to see the Abu Simbel Temple). He sounded surprised I said no and gave me his room number should I change my mind.
