At The Fairmont Hotel. These early electronics were on display in the breakfast room. What a nice surprise!

Eliot And Steve Went Ballooning in Luxor
I refused to join the majority of our group on the 4am Balloon ride over the Nile. These photos were taken by Steve Greenberg and Eliot Hess who shared them with me. They loved it. They were totally exhilarated. This was Steve’s third time on a Balloon ride and Eliot’s first. Twenty Balloons floated right past my hotel room. It was quite a sight. I was glad I was planted firmly on the ground
Then We Went Sailing To A Banana Plantation

A Crowd Pleaser
We have been walking close to 10,000 steps everyday. My clothes started to feel loose until the Egyptian Zalabia Balls were served onboard our four day river cruise on the Nile. Perfect for the upcoming holidays.
The following is a Steve Greenberg production. He photographed and taped this entire segment.
Their Last Words Before The Mid-Term Elections
We Are Cruising The Nile River
This was our form of transportation through the towns of Kom Ombo and Edfu when we visited several ancient temples. We are currently on a Riverboat on the Nile River. The whole experience is completely enchanting because everyone has been accommodating and eager to welcome people from all over the world. This trip has been anything but a vacation. It’s a complete adventure with ballooning (not me), sailing, hiking, belly dancing, and sights we have never seen before.
Temples of Ramses II
It’s so surreal to see millennia-old monuments right in front of me. I have seen them for decades in movies. I can’t believe I can actually take a selfie with all of them. What an honor.
We actually visited the temples of Ramses II and his favorite wife, Neferati.The structures are so big and beautiful you just can’t imagine how they ever got built.
We took hundreds of photos to document our visit. We are currently on a Nile cruise ship for three nights going from from Upper Egypt to Lower Egypt. Everyone is lovely and extremely friendly. I hope it lasts.
Climbing the Cheops Pyramid
I must have been out of my mind. How does someone go from being a couch potato, to a mountain climber? I have no idea, but I did it. Our tour leader told us you can’t visit the Pyramids without climbing to the top inside rooms.
I thought it wouldn’t be too bad. Wrong! It turned out to be steep, slippery ancient steps in a dark sauna. I was scared to death but big boobs help soften the blow. Without Eliot and Steve holding me on either side (the boobs), I wouldn’t have made it.

If that was not tough enough, riding a camel on rocks, in the dessert, really made by heart beat more than three times as fast as it normally does. I’m glad I did it, and I’m glad it’s over.
Amen.
Once in Morocco, and now in Egypt. Heart beat to 189. Only for a DigiDame post
