So I had taken a pause of prosessing vac pictures as I had a some life issues but all is good and I am back at it.
In 3 weeks in a place like this you can take a lot of pictures...
As a FYI, the population of Egypt is about 120m and 95% live on 6% of the land which borders the Nile. The rest of the land is a barron as can be
So as part of our trip, we spend 6 days on the Nile River. Here are just a few of the sights we saw with this wonderful adventure.
* Next Wed I will share a few bird pictures I was able to capture.
# 1 This could have been the Nativity Scene. Structures like this were very common, especcially on the West side of the Nile.
For some reason poorer people live on the west side and all the tourisum was on the east but thats changing with the cost and avalability of river front property.
# 2 The Nile was full of sail boats near the bigger cities
#3 My balloon trip was canceled due to high winds... I think I missed out
#4 Where ever you look you can see antiquity of the past. To the left was the ship we sailed on
# 5 The ships sundeck, ya, I know but somebody had to do it
# 6 another radom old structure we saw from our balcony as we float by.
# 7 fisherman doing there thing like has been done for 1000's of years
# 8. these structures seem to be calling out to me to stop and see. We did visit there the next day... more to follow on this site
# 9 more antiquity of long ago
# 10 Kids being kids. We were told they are of the Nubian people from Sudan and are called "the river poeple" as they all make their living off the river and considerd one of the oldest cultures in Africa who over 1000's of years migrated north into Egypt
# 11, another Nubian child. paddle boards were a thing, but they didn't use paddles
# 12 More fisherman, not the best picture, but it captured the moment
# 13 Another sailboat with a seagull in flight
# 14,, last but not least. Again not the best image but how cool is this, and one of my favorites. In the background the Sahara desert
