In Aswan

Hello, day four of the adventure and since my last entry it has been just that. The day after the camel ride, we spent a whole day looking for a charger for my digital camera. It was some religious holiday so no luck. I have taken 2 pictures since I've been here. I have no choice but to put up with it. I will try again when I return to cairo. So until then, absolutely no photos to post.

We ate streetmeat before we boarded the train the other day. It was the best food we have had and yet although I believe that is what made me ill. Here in Aswan we have toured the island temple of Isis at Philae and Abu Simbel, you know, the one with the 4 huge statues of Ramses at the entrance. I really liked Abu Simbel.

It is hot here. I wore my headscarves and long pants/skirts the first couple of days and found that I got a lot more looks when I wore it. We have been amoung many tourists for the last couple of days, and will be for the next couple and nobody wears anything on their head many even wear tanktops. So for now, I choose to be comfortable, and dress like everyone else, also all of the locals we have asked say it is not a problem.

We start our Nile cuise tomorrow, so I will not be able to make another entry for a bit.

Until later,
Sarah & Mike.
