Winter Break in Egypt

A group of us (Jane, Angali, Gwen, and myself) spent our winter holiday bartering our way through Cairo, Luxor, and Dahab.  Here are some pictures and our journal entry.  As usual, click on the pictures to see a larger version.

  Jane on Charlie Brown the camel.  So this is my competition ... a single-humped, double-kneed, slightly gaseous desert animal.

  New Year's Eve 2000 in TGI Fridays.  Yep, there is one floating on the Nile in Cairo.

  A small village outside of the Valley of the Kings

  Jane, Jonas and Heather (PCV Bulgaria) on bikes in Luxor overlooking the Nile
