Distractions of Lola

Egypt | 12.28.07 | early morning flight from Cairo to Aswan for a visit to Abu Simbel. still astounded by the fact that they moved the entire temple in prep for building the dam! took a short boat ride on the Nile and noticed that the sands of the Sahara come right up to the edge of the river. hopped on a camel and journeyed over to a Nubian village. the hibiscus tea and snacks totally coaxed us into buying more handmade trinkets and whatnots than was necessary.
