egypt photo journal (day three)

Day three actually began with a night-train ride from Cairo to Luxor (12 hours). Fortunately we rode in a sleeping car. It may have been the best night's rest I got on the entire trip. The train was about three hours late arriving to Luxor...but we were fine with that...three more hours to sleep.

Here's Grant getting ready for bed on the train

This sign cracked me up...so I took a picture. It was posted on the wall in our sleeping compartment

Arriving in Luxor

Our team. That's the Nile River in the background.

We spent the day doing final preparations for our time with the kids. We also got out and checked out a little bit of Luxor. That evening we took a falucca ride on the Nile. This is my favorite shot.

After the boat ride we we crammed ourselves and our luggage into a micro bus for a 30-40 minute ride to the village of Armant. Tomorrow...we meet the kids...
