more Me at Karnak

More pictures of me being seriously movie-star cool at Karnak Temple. There are really places where the original paint is still on the walls, columns, and ceilings. I think those pictures were in the last post, though. In these I am just looking stylish. That's the thing I hate most about traveling alone - having to take self portraits. Oh well.

Me at Karnak Temple

Karnak Templ, on the East Bank at Luxor, is the oldest continually used religious site on the face of the planet. There's a mosque at the site now, so it's still being used religiously. I got up really freaking early and walked about 2 miles to the entrance from my hotel because it is pretty hot in Luxor in late June. As a reward for my industriousness, I got there before the tour buses got there so I had it almost to myself at first. Now I am not one of those people who complains about the tourists and says that places are too "touristy" because, come on, I AM a tourist. Good grief! But it was nice to get to this place before it got really crowded.
