Egypt - February 2007: This is me standing in front of the mysterious Sphinx with the great pyramid in the background. What an unbelievable trip! I traveled with my high school and college friend, Patricia Weaver Comeaux to this amazing country. We visited Cairo, toured the temples of Karnak and Luxor, took a cruise trip "down" the Nile, visited several tombs, including Tutankhamen's in the Valley of the Kings, and drove to the high holy temple at Abydos. We then flew to Abu Simbel to explore the great temple of Rameses II which was moved and reconstructed on higher ground in the 1970s - the result of the building of the High Dam at Aswan which would have flooded the temple.Hieroglyphic images from Karnak Temple in Luxor
