Had lunch (another foodfest and alcohol) Then a chance to unpack then sip'n sail (more alcohol). Now on way to Luxor Temple at sunset. Then back for dinner. And if that isn't enough there's another snack put out.

    All but six of us went to Abu Simbel. We stayed behind to walk around. Not the brightest idea as it is about 100 but we shopped in local market and saw some sights.

    Later we go on a felucca ride then afternoon tea at sunset.

    Breakfast picture shows me sitting between two federal agents. He was a customs border patrol agent and she was an IRS agent.
