Luxor, Egypt

Luxor.  Arrived by overnight train…it was only 2 hours late…unusually on-time apparently.

Hiked all around the West Bank’s Valley of the Kings.  Amazing.  More taxis and donkeys and camels…

View from the top of the Valley of the Kings!  Lunch break!  I challenged a local guide who just wouldn’t leave me alone to a race to the top…these guys just don’t give up.  It’s simply amazing.  He declined…then gave me a guilt trip for free. ;)

Can’t remember where this was…but it was my favorite spot…will update name.

I just can’t find myself in the picture among the hieroglyphs… ;)
