  • Never A Dull Moment-Valley of the Kings

  • Cruising the Nile

    This morning we woke up in Edfu, that is called the Buggy Capital of Egypt. Of course, the transportation for the first temple of the day had to be by buggy. There were hundreds of these buggies pulled by very… Continue reading

  • Hotel Pictures

    We stayed in some pretty fabulous places during this vacation. The first one was the Villa Mandarine in Rabat. Beautiful grounds and flowers. We next moved to the Riad Salem Fes in Fes, Morocco. This was by far my favorite.… Continue reading
