Various states of sleep on the way to Abu Simble ....
Once we got to Abu Simble, we got some of the history from Mostafa and then got to look around and take pictures. This is another one of the structures that had to be moved to be saved from the high waters of the Nile.
I should know the name of this king ... (Ramses?) ... but, it's all a blur now ....
Below, you can see Devin's "DoDDs face". Our kids go to DoDDs schools (department of defense). Devin was bummed to be missing a soccer game - his coach said it right when he said, "Typical Dodds kid- I don't want to go to Egypt, I want to play soccer"! Only in Europe and only in a DoDDs school would you hear that!
After browsing for a while, we head back in the convoy and then arrive to our boat for our "cruise" down the Nile! We got to the boat about 1:00, had lunch, and then got to relax. We read, had naps, played games, and the kids even swam. Dinner is late on a cruise boat (about 7pm), and then there is usually night time entertainment -- we all skipped it this night.
Cruising down the Nile ... "She sailed away, on a bright and sunny day..."
Shelby and McKayla .... Devin ... too afraid of chilly water ....
Loading the boat ... The Nile Princess ....
Chilling on the deck of the boat ....
