Egypt 2010

Tom, Lydia, and I went to Egypt in January, during Lydia's winter break. We had a magical time cruising the Nile, seeing amazing temples (including Abu Simbal), pyramids, and art, suffering through Cairo traffic, photographing Lydia doing handstands in various places, eating Egyptian food as much as we could, and appreciating the fascinating history and culture of ancient Egypt. It was the height of tourist season and there were occasional cruise ship traffic jams on the Nile and crowds of people at the temples, but somehow we were able to look beyond all that because the sights are so amazing.

However, I didn't write up a blog at the time, and so I'm opting for the easy way out by referring you to Lydia's wonderful descriptions in her blog, http://lydiaandtheworld.blogspot.com/.
