Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

My husband and I traveled to Egypt for a two week visit. I love all things Ancient Egyptian and have wanted to visit Egypt since childhood. My trip was made more spectacular because I experienced it with my husband, my best friend. We did not use an escorted tour, but traveled rather independently. We met contacts at each location, who handled our paperwork and arranged our individual visits to historical sites. We explored the streets of Luxor walking from busy tourist areas to the more remote outskirts. On one of our walks, we found these men and their animals hanging out. We decided that they were taking a break from whatever it is that they normally did during the day.
