Ok, so I'll get pics up soon. I burnt a picture cd yesterday, but I'm at a different net cafe where I can't use cds, so I'll have to upload another time. Anyway, after Cairo we took a night train to Aswan. Aswan was a nicer city in my opinion. Had a great bazaar where you get harrassed like nobodies business, but it was a dry town (no booze...although, 6 or 7 of us took horse carriages one night to the 4 star hotel and had a few beers at their bar). Didn't spend too much time in Aswan itself, but we took day trips (via tourist police convoy) to Philae Temple (beautiful temple on an island) and the world famous Abu Simbel. Abu Simbel has the most amazing exterior of any of the temples we visited. The inside isn't too shabby either.
Pics:
1) Philae Temple
2) Our hosts at a Nubian village (they cooked for us and had us into their homes!)
3) This was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time
