It was moved up the hill, and the landscape was recreated when they built the Aswan dam.When we got there we spent about 1 hour looking at the two amazingly beautiful temples. There where four large statues at each of the temples, one for Ramses, and one for his wife, whose name I don't remember. Her's was slightly smaller then his. The paint was mostly gone, but what we could see of it was spectacular. Twice a year, the sun lines up with the entrances, and lights up the statues of some of the gods at the end. Then we wandered around in the sun on the site for awhile until our van came back. I think I found my sesitive plant in an adult form there! Then we had the three hour drive back. We stopped for about three minutes at the Aswan dam. It doesn’t look as exciting as it is, and the road goes right on top of it. Then we went down the Nile, and boarded our sailing boat, it was nice and sunny, so we lay down on our mattress, and I read the ebook. We had a very good dinner, of meat and bread. We also saw some donkeys. Unfortunatly, the Eco-toilet didn't arrive....We put the walls of the boat up, and were in bed by nine. The sail boat seemed like a lot more fun then the big cruise boats that rocked our boat when they went by.
