Day Two

Day Two...How high can you climb in 115 degree heat? Well we found out today. We started out taking our bus to a place that makes bricks the same way that the Israelites did while they were slaves in Egypt. If fact I made a brick in the same way. Got my hands into the mud and manure and formed an almost perfect brick, kinda like my jumpshot. After spending time talking to some poor farmers we headed to the Valley of The Kings. This is where they have uncovered 63 tombs of Pharaohs and important leaders of ancient Egypt.



After a lecture in the temple of the Egyptian creator god, we hiked into the Valley of The Kings. It was an hour and a half up and up and up and then an hour down. We were then able to tour a couple tombs, one being Ramsees II. This is also where the tomb of Tutankhamen was found.



After a very hot morning, we went for a cruise on the Nile to a place for lunch. Then to a papyrus shop to see how papyrus paper is made and back to our hotel to clean up and have dinner. After dinner we loaded our bags up and headed to the airport for a flight to Sharm el Sheikh. Got to our hotel by 10 PM and it did not take long and we crashed. Great day.
