Here I am in the great hypostyle hall at Karnak


A new sight was the visit to the Temple of Ptah at Karnak.  A dark Holy of Holies with
a statue of the goddess Sekhmet


Also, a first trip to the Temple of Hatshepsut.


The Edfu temple was beautiful, even in the 131 degrees Fahrenheit heat

It was also my first time to see the Luxor Temple at night.  Amazing.


from the wall of Thutmes III's tomb in the Valley of the Kings


And the three of us in the workers tomb, Pashedu


A funny optical illusion, don't I look like I could step on all the other tourists?  At Abu Simbel
