Egypt was fantastic. I traveled with great people and made some excellent friends. We had a blast together and the history there was spectacular. We spent a day and a night on a fuluca, a wind powered boat. It was so relaxing. We went to Luxor and visited The Valley of the Kings where there are 63 tombs and the most recent one only being discovered seven months ago. We were able to go into three tombs while we were there. The craftmanship thousands of years ago was amazing. The angles and rectangular corridors are perfect. Then if you look at their current buildings they are slapped together brick buildings that leave a lot to be desired.

We spent three nights in Hurghada, a resort area that a lot of Europeans visit. It was good. A sickness went through some of us there and I was very sick one night, thank God it was only for one night. It was neat to see all of these people hanging on the Red Sea in the resort area and then you think behind this town in the same country is over 5000 years of history. It was nice to be able to experience both types of travel in the one trip.

I went scuba diving in the Red Sea. I saw a dolphin and a ray that was yellow with blue polka dots. There was beautiful coral cliffs over 15m deep.

I am currently in Rome and enjoying the history here too. Now the sites are all within walking distance and I have spent the day exploring the blocks. Around each corner is another beautiful building.

Hope you are all well. I sure am. Thinking of you all. Love Sarah
