More Egypt Photos - Egypt Day 4

I know I've been back for over a month but here's another 80 photos from Egypt from day four, we're still in Luxor: there's a lot of local shots, some temple photos and a felucca sailboat ride..

  • Around town - Various shorts from around Luxor (Marilyn and I walked ALL over town). Photos of a place where I bought a scarf, a few odd internet places, some apartments and a few street scenes.
  • Temple of Luxor - Some more photos of the outside of Luxor Temple (as were were walking around town).
  • Faluga Ride - A sunset ride on a felucca sailboat ride which is named for it's different shaped (but we had no wind).
  • Luxor at night - A carriage ride around Luxor at night, dinner and some photos from around town.

    I know I'm only on day 4 of the bulk photos, but it's been busy. I'll get some more out the next few weeks, it's less cRaZy at work, plus I've got a few more days off.

  • Stowaway - by D. Ann Kelley and James G. Kelley - Review

    I just finished reading Stowaway by D. Ann Kelley and James G. Kelley (and I happen to know the authors). Most of it takes place in Michigan, it's kinda part of a series but it's by far the best one yet so I'd definitely recommend this one first. It might reveal a few details from the first few books but it's the most polished and fast read of any of the stories. The endings still end kinda quick though.

    Jill Traynor returns as the main character (after the first book they started adding “A Jill Traynor Mystery” as the subtitle. One of the new characters chooses the Edumund Fitgerald as the ship to sneak onto, I think we all know how that's likely to end. But the whole mystery revolves around the message they managed to get off the ship that reveals where the ________ is/are located. It's got a bit of historical fact weaved in (and they clarify the details in the afterward). If you're from Michigan or the Great Lakes area and like mysteries it's a must read.

    As a reminder I've mentioned their books before, the first two books they wrote were Lighthouse Paradox and Legacy.

    I did have one big complaint about this book, I don't know who/what did their typesetting but in more than a few spots there are definitely some problems (mostly related to carriage returns and spacing) that I've got to assume it was added goofed up in at the final stage of the publishing process...
