This morning we are off to see one of the temples that was moved and saved when they built the dams on the nile river. We drove and saw two dams today. The Oswan, …… and then we took a boat ride to this temple. It was located acrosed the inle from where we had docked. This was amazing seeing the detal that was kepted and how every rock had ben restored to it’s orignal place. Whall we were wating to start touring the temp Vick joumped a stone wall like a herdal after Osman had herd about here skiping tryouts for nationals in track to come to Egypt and so he wanted to see here run and joup.

Folowing lunch and a rest back at the boat we went on a nother boat ride on the nile. This one was longer than the one this morning, about 45 min. We concluded our boad ride at a Nubean viliage. Here we got out and went and saw a home there. Many people inour group heled a crokidile. That was very cool! Alos had some Hot hobiskus tea and some people got some tatus doen that last about 2 weeks befor falling off the skin. After this a older man started playing a song for us on a stringed instermint and some of the local childeren started danceing. Befor long about 1/2 of our group had joyned in and we were all dancing around the house singing there songs. This was quite an experence and was a lot of fun!

The next stop was for us to wack acrosed the small viliage to there school. After touring the school and tacking a few photoes from the top of one of the roufes we went down and got on some camals for our ride out acrosed the desert by the Nile river. On the boat ride we passed where the kings are baried for the city there and we also passed one of the light houses of Alexandera where they would light a flame as a worning system. My driver name was Mohmad. We road the camals throu the viliage and then out acrosed a short pice of desert to an out post where we got off the camel. This was realy neet. Was an experience I will not forget. After getting off the camal I scuped up somesand and put it in a bottel to bring back. Then it was back to the boat to tack our ride home. One the way back we pased by Elephen Island and also went by a hotell where all the rolty stay and a famous wright stayed. Then it was back to the boat.

Later tonight I went sweiming up on deack and then sat around and tocked for a while. Then it was off to bed.
