Summer of Slow Travel

We took a boat ride back to our ship..check out his folk art boat

Then after a mandatory nap..honestly..Tarek is very clear about what we are supposed to do we went to the Temple Across the Street.

it was initially built by Amenhotep III but then Ramses II added some..the. The Coptic Christians came along and put ina an alter or two– the Romans added a fortress (mostly destroyed) and the a Mosque was built on top of everything.

Reminds me when I look at American news that “This too shall pass”.

That cartouche is of Alexander the Great.

And then there is a lot of very valuable ruble..so their solution:

as Mike V. would say “It is all in the branding!!

We are having the time of our lives!!  Tomorrow Karnak temple, a carriage ride and dinner at a bar!

thanks for hanging with me , love barb
