Luxor, the best reason to own a wide-angle lens
Just a few more days left in Egypt. I have only three more days to see whatever I can while I am here. I did manage to spend a couple of days in Luxor. I managed to see quite a bit while I was there. I will visit Aswan the next time I visit. Did you know that the only way to get to places like Aswan and Oasis the other outlying places is either by train, if there is one, or by police convoy and there are only certain times of the day that they go. Of course you can fly also. It's almost unbelievable the massiveness of these tombs. I took lots of pictures that I will try to get on the new site as soon as I can find a computer that can handle the download. I think I will return to Alexandria before I leave to see some things that I missed the first couple of times that I went. I have heard through somewhat reliable sources back at the camp that it's really hitting the fan. Allegations of this and that are being thrown around like a midget at a Friday night mud wrestling extravaganza. I don't know why I just can't get have some relaxing time before I go home. The poor guy that they sent there to take my place while I am on vacation is crying to leave. Thought my job was easy, huh? Stupid idiot. Knowing how to do your job, putting up with constant whining, and managing to dodge, weave, leap, and otherwise avoid the political BS that comes with dealing with under qualified, know-it-all, somewhat grown women disguised as men is only a fraction of what you need to make it look as easy as I do. Oh well, just another day in beautiful Baghdad. Maybe I'll play a few mind games when I get back to keep them occupied. After all, it is still officially called Camp Rumor. I wonder what will be floating around the mill when I get back. Who knows, maybe I will become Prime Minister.
