Today was a lot of fun. It was a more relaxed day that the hurry tour we have had on other days. We started at the Valley of the Kings but again we were not allowed to take any photos. We had to buy postcards to bring back the images. Some of the painting in these 4000 year-old tombs looked as good as if they were painted yesterday. It was stunning.Next was the Valley of the Queens. Here is Jenny and I doing a little posing in the valley.
We ended up with a lot of free time at our hotel and our hotel was the nicest one yet. The food is first class and so is the service. At night, there was a dancing show that included men, women and belly dancers. It was great fun! Lee enjoyed a shesha, an Egyptian smoking pot. He was hilarious with his turban and glasses. We got some video of it and some video of Vicki dancing if you’re interested. Lee tells us that Vicki used to belly dance as a workout routine…I don’t know if it’s true, but you can judge for yourself.
Tomorrow we tour some more in Luxor and fly back to Cairo. I’ll talk to you then!

Hhmmm...Egyptian smoking pot. Sounds familiar. I've heard it is very hard to import American smoking pot when you travel to Egypt. I would not recommend wearing that headdress through customs on the way home! Especially with any left-over Egyptian smoking pot in your pocket :)
I don't see why Doug posing in the Valley of the Queens is any big deal. He's been doing that for years. He claims it is quite a drag...
I wonder if Lee will start up a belly-dancing ministry at church. Maybe Vicki can train him to be a "black belt" (top level of belly dancing).
