Egpyt Pics.....Finally!

Well, I have finally posted pictures from my trip to Egypt. I apologize for the length of the post with all the pictures, but wanted to give you an idea of all the things we got to see while there. This is just a small sampling of pictures from the trip but it highlights some great parts of the trip. It was a wonderful trip and we experienced so many new things. In one day we traveled from sleeper train to bus to boat to camel. It was such a worth while endeavor! Hope you enjoy!

We took a boat ride down the Nile to a little Nubian village

Israel city names carved in a Ancient Egyptian temple - communicated Egypt's connection to Israel in ancient times

Camel ride up to St. Simon Monastery - they are smelly animals!
