on the sleeper train to luxor

Alright, here all of my details will be getting very sketchy because I wasn't able to write anything down. Actually, I'm not sure if I have any details. I know that we went to a few more churches, which weren't terrible interesting. I would have been fine going to a few churches throughout the course of the trip, but because we visited something like 3 a day it really made all of them very uninteresting.

We also went to Memphis and that was nice. There were some statue and a sphinx. Not the Sphinx, but a sphinx. I also met some tourist police behind a statue of Ramses II who wanted money. I took a picture with them and then walked away before they could ask. There was another guy who grabbed Shannon and wanted to take a picture with her so I took one. Then he wanted to take a picture of us but we just walked away before he could ask us for money. This was a bit of a trend in Egypt.

We also saw the Step Pyramid in Memphis. That was cool. It was a nice little break in the day.

We then went to see some people make rugs. They asked us for money.

We also took a boat ride on the Nile, which was a lot of fun.


We rode on the sleeper train to Luxor that night. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't sleep very well. I got some good rest, but I woke up quite a few times.

In Luxor we saw a few ancient temples and went for a sailboat ride on the Nile. It was a good day. We had church in one of the temples, which was a little awkward considering how many people were there, but it was still good.

We took another late flight back to Athens and I couldn't sleep well on the plane. We got back to Porto Rafti and the Artemis around 7 and I slept from 7:30 to about 12:30. Then I started working on updating my blog and pictures and now it's 11 and I'm almost done.
