March 5th, Edfu
We started off the day by walking up on the felucca and having breakfast. Then we drifted around for a bit until we got to a dock. Then we waited till our car came. We got in the car and drove to the temple in Edfu. When we got there it was already really hot. It was very pretty. The Romans defaced a lot of Egyptian stuff and chipped away at the figures in the temples and tombs. The temple is dedicated to Horus who was the god of protection in Pharonic times. Then we had a traditional lunch in our tour guide’s house. It was very good. Then we drove to Luxor and went to our hotel. After half an hour we got in some rented bikes and biked for about an hour through West Bank of Luxor. Mom enjoyed seeing the crops and watch the people work the land. We saw a donkey fall over, and then its master started beating it and stamping on it! Then we went back and had supper.
