What a wonderful account of your trip! You...Hi Ana,<br />What a wonderful account of your trip! Your photos are magnificent. My son went to Giza and Luxor last year with his grandmother and was equally impressed. I understand when you say you are running out of ways to describe the wonders you've seen; I felt the same when I visited the acropolis of Athens, even though I'm sure that Egypt is absolutely incomparable. Great that you read Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. I would do the exact same thing!Katerinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506061144502728314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-26941768973553531672011-12-07T15:42:43.633-08:002011-12-07T15:42:43.633-08:00Hey, Retarius!

Actually, though it does not please me to say so, some of the graffiti is very well done, long, flowing Victorian script, from an age when people took things seriously, even trivia and vandalism! <br /><br />That's good to hear about R&A. I saw there was a comment awaiting moderation but was reluctant to step in until you had cleared the minefield. I had a close call recently with a malicious email, someone who had hacked the account of another friend of mine.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-80638223032951048212011-12-07T01:24:20.553-08:002011-12-07T01:24:20.553-08:00Welcome back!

That graffiti is the only way those people can be remembered; coat-tailing an ancient wonder. I can't blame them for desiring to leave some trace...that's the essence of the human aspiration..I just wish they'd resisted the temptation. like a lot of things, it's excusable to have a whim to do it..then you should accept your insignificance and refrain. If everyone gave in to the temptation there would be complete obliteration of the original work. MMMhh...maybe the Egyption govt should put up gigantic stone blocks next to the monuments and invite people to carve a memento...for a "small" fee of course. Verry good, verree goood!!<br /><br />I cleaned up the malware problem on R&A and I'll be chucking some incendiaries again.Retariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165689727557860449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-49194593916941017192011-12-06T15:28:24.314-08:002011-12-06T15:28:24.314-08:00Hey, why not do both?

I had you in mind whenever I would hear something new in the news.<br /><br />Sounds like you had another great trip. I like your style in that you read Agatha Christie's book while "on location." :-)<br /><br />-JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
