Today woke up and got the rest of my tings all packed up and set my sucase out to go up to be loaded on to the bus. After breafast on the boat we all wacked up and met in the loby todepart to Abu-Simul by flying. We cought a bus that will tack us to the air port to go see our sittes today. He will tack us to the air port and then we will fly to Abu-Simbal where we will go see two temples. It is only about 40 min ride to our destination on the plain. They have built this air port primarly joust for tourest and others to come see this site. I found this realy amazing.

Once we arived at Abu-Symbul we cought a bus and road it to the site by the man maid lack caused by the dam there. There are shopes and a little eating area outside under a shaid from a rouf for people to relax and cool dowin befor of after seeing the temple.

The tempels were moved so that they might be saved when they built the dam. They were carved out of the side of a mounton so inorder to move them they literaly had to move a mounton. The detailes in the statues and the sheir size was amazing. To think of the porportions that they were dealing with was ausom. Thinking of the tack it would have bean to move thes stones and to keep the mounton all in line so that the sun would shine the right way is realy amazing. The first temple on the left when looking at them has an opining for the dor and on the same day of the year the sun shines in and lights up the pharo head in the back of the tempe.

From here it was back to the bus and then on to the air port to fly back to Luxar. Here we go back to the ship and freshen up a bit befor heading out on the river nile bye boat. Once back at the ship we had all our lugage stored in the loby tobe tacken to beh bus. Whe then had stored our bages in the basment of the ship so we wen there and got fressend up. Several of our gyes all decided to get into one bead and that was realy funy.

After tacking a little bit of a break it was then off on a moter boat ride. We road it over to the patanical gardens where a former travler had come and had brought plants from all over to help mack this lisland his won and so that he might better injoy his place to live. There were man goris flowers, plants and vareations of paulm trees. It was joust gorgous. God blessed us with another cool day that was not to unbaribly hot wich was wonderful.

From here we road back to first place to dock where we cought a bus to ride up to a hotel for dinner. Denner was a befay and the food was exslant. After dinner it was back to the air port to fly to Ciro where we will spend tonight and Saterday night.

On the plain fight I spock with a man who was a former Egyption and is now living in france and wrights for a magazine. We had a good flight. During the flight I spock with a gentlman who was born and grew up in Egypt but now is living in france and wrighting fr a publication there. This was intersting and did not get very far in teaching and exploring ideas with him but was a good study of the bibles teachings.

We arived laight at our hotell and we eneded up droping Osman off at his howm on the way back.
