Day 77: Abu Simbel, Egypt

Day 77: Today got up way to early 3:30am to take a tour bus to Abu Simbel. We went to the temple of Ramses II, which was quite impressive. They had great big statues of Ramses in the front. Then we saw Lake Nassar, which was very blue. Drove through the dessert. Got back and headed to the market with Huda and to had a nice Egyptian dinner of kofta and kebabs. The people at Aswan look more like native Africans. I have noticed the Egyptians have quite a sense of humor...Also it's interesting that things close on Fri. and Sat. here, vs. things are closed in the u.s. on Sat. and Sun.
