Well it seems that the very long nice blog I wrote before leaving Cairo did not get published. We spent 6 days in this very amazing very large city. It was hot crowded
and dusty. We meet many amazing people along the way. Amir, a friend we meet in front of the hotel hooked it up with anything we wanted or needed, including having falafel delivered to our hotel room. I did buy the most amazing black leather purse with snakeskin trim (yes that is how I like my snakes, decorative) and a fab LV bag with suede lining for the Backster!
We are now in Luxor. This is the city where everyone from ancient times came during the winter. Why the winter because its HOT AS HELL now. Even laying by the pool. I did manage to bypass the lifeguard and acutally swim in the nile. They say,
when you swim in the Nile you will always have Egypt in your heart and you will return. Sorry, this country has really amazed me. I really love it and we get a pretty good return on our dollars.
Last night to celebrate our arrival here, we had a devine dinner and DRINKS in the hotel. Well guess what? I was SICK as a dog today. Fortuently, I was able to drag
my poor pitiful self to the beauty salon, where they fixed me right up with some kind
of medicine and peppermint tea. All this while I had, you guessed it, a manicure.
I spent pretty much most of the day relaxing and swimming, drinking peppermint tea
and not eating anything except the amazing bread that is baked in an over by the pool/ Hey, its Egypt! I'm gonna post this and try and get some pictures posted. Tomorrw is the Valley of the KINGS.. we leave at 8am,, I already know I won't be getting out of the car. As I'm writing this, in the air conditioned comfort of the
Sheraton Luxor, Ms. Marylin is out in sun protective gear, trapsing through some temple.. which we saw from the car, on the way in..
