Leaving Kemet/Misr/Egypt

It's almost 2 am here in Egypt, and I'm leaving in a few minutes to head to the airport. The trip is winding down.

While I'm thinking about it, here are a couple of groups of photos I don't think I had time to post before. The first is from Edfu Temple:

and the second from the temple to Khnum on Elephantine:

Interesting stuff.

I don't really know what to say at this point; "I learned a lot" sounds awfully after-school special Pollyanna-ish. I did learn a lot, but that should be obvious. I will probably return to Egypt (imshallah, as they say here), but not on a tour, I think. A tour is good, I guess, for a basic orientation. I'm done with that now, though, and wouldn't relish traveling around again in the company of 30-something other people for whom I don't particularly care, for the most part.

And that's really it. I'll probably sleep for a few days when we get home; I'll post this when I can.
