Proof!

Hooray for DSL. Here is Egypt in a very small nutshell:

Look familiar? We don't have to use Google images any more. Booya!


Abu Simbil. 30km north of Sudan. We had to go in a huge tourist caravan so we'd be safe. This was my favorite temple.

Sailing down the Nile

Luxor Temple

High noon. Sahara Desert. 45 minutes of pushing.

Above the black desert on top of one of the volcanic mountains.

Catching air in the white desert

Sunset in the white desert part of the Sahara. There were no signs of life as far as the eye could see in any direction.
A short stop on our off-road trek across the desert. The jeep behind us is carrying our fire wood and tenting materials.

This was like one of those African sunset's you see all your life on the Discovery channel. It totally lived up to everything.

A cool water spring in the middle of the desert. We swam here (and at the nearby hot springs) all afternoon in between our dune-boarding! What an awesome day that was.

Trev on the long trek back up after an awesome ride down.

It's blurry because I'm going so fast. :)

Just your average goods in your average transport vehicle

We're even starting to coordinate outfits.

It never ends.

We were such celebrities in Alexandria. The paler your skin, the more they wanted their picture taken with you. I had a lot of pictures taken of me.

So there you have it, a small smattering of what we've been up to over the past 17 days.
