Another early morning departure from our port city. The waters were especially choppy this morning and I could tell that the waves were a little larger because it felt like the boat was being slammed on my side of the ship.
The travel on the Nile has become the safest and fastest way to see these sites on the Nile. Since some violence occurred here in 1997 it has become more difficult to travel inland by road and so these ships seem to be the best and safest way to travel.
We went to the Temple of Isis this morning. This temple was like the others and I’m seeing similarity between the temples. The same stories seem to be showing up over and over again. At least I’m learning what to look for and understanding thy hyroglyphics a little more.
Again the crowds are big here and we quickly learned to avoid the small rooms with no air ventilation and such. We were back to the boat by 11 AM.
On schedule this afternoon is a trip by Felucca to a Nubian village to meet the people and see their life style and to Ride a camel. More to come.

You should be the temple tour expert by now! They have temple and a god for everything. I can't wait to see the pics! Bring home some coffee for us to drink while we look at 'em!
