Days 7-8 - Nile Cruise

March 13-14, 2009

Our cruise ship room

Day 7 was a lot of cruise ship relaxing, hanging out in Aswan, etc.

Can't live without it - Coke Light

Egyptian wine that we drank (no, it wasn't fantastic)

Day 8 - Sailing up the Nile, first stop - Kom Ombo temple

Kom Ombo temple was probably my favorite

Everything was in really good condition; lots of detail work

Matt at Kom Ombo

Very large people

Us at the awesome temple

Can you tell we liked it?

It was dedicated to the crocodile god, Sobek

This was a very cool picture on the wall

Erin and hieroglyphics

Matt and many carvings

Loved this temple

Almost done...

last one!

We're sailing on the Nile towards Edfu

Matt and the Nile

People farming

People on a boat for some reason

There were many, many ships like ours

They dock them stacked together and you walk through them

The lovely town of Edfu

We're on our way to the temple

And here we are!

Crowning the double crown of Egypt to symbolize peace

Matt at Edfu temple

Lots of people making offerings

AWESOME statue of Horus. Love the falcon!!!

Edfu temple

The cutest falcon ever. He even has the double crown.
