Day 4

Today we got to sleep in, the phone didn’t ring until 6:30.  We had breakfast and then went straight to the Karnak Temple.  This is a huge structure and almost every Pharoah added his or her touch to the temple.  In the temple is a huge scarab beetle, they say if you walk around it 7 times your wish will come true.  I walked around 7 times and as for the other part I guess we will see.  After this we went back to the hotel for lunch.  I managed, also, to find time to get a really great henna tattoo on my hand with my name in Arabic.  This was my first henna tattoo and I’m still getting used to it, but it was fun.  We left to the airport after lunch and then once back in Cairo made the three hour drive back to Alexandria.  Once back on the boat and in my home I went to bed early and enjoyed sleeping in.
