Bicycles

Mariam had a really great idea for me and AJ to rent bicycles while we were there in Luxor so we would be mobile. It was great idea, but the bikes themselves were pretty crappy. We got Kenawy to procure them and we think he might have just grabbed them from his cousins or something. The tires were low and they only had one gear and they were wobbly and rusty and the kick-stand on mine (as you can see) was purely decorative. We did ride them to the Valley of the Kings once and once we rode them across to Luxor to the Chicago House library. Here you can see AJ on the ferry with them and us riding at different places. The Valley of the Kings was a grueling challenge as it was uphill the entire way in. I was crying by the time we reached the parking lot. But out it was sweet! All downhill :) Next time I want to rent a donkey chariot.
