"Well, let's see. From in front of the ruins of St. Simeon Coptic Christian Monastery high on the West Bank across from Aswan this morning, we remounted our trusty camels to ride out as a caravan into the Sahara Desert over the sand dunes to a Nubian village on the banks of the Nile River here on the outskirts of Aswan, Egypt..."
Now THAT's a response you're not likely to hear every day of the week, perhaps never more than once in a lifetime, in fact; but that's how we spent the morning today. Who'd have believed it?
Then, later in the day, after a trip buy motor launch to lunch on a private island in the middle of the Nile and an afternoon spent napping and lounging by the pool, we attended a sound-and-light show at the Temple of Philae and dined at Makka, a really fine Egyptian restaurant in downtown Aswan.
So how's your day been?
