i'm back!
egypt is the most incredible place - so much of the ancient art is still there! saw a lot of the old temples. if anyone gets the chance, i highly reccomend seeing the temple of Isis on Philae - beautiful. also went to luxor & karnak, and of course the pyramids (i got kicked off a pyramid! he he he!). there's this one little chapel at karnak that's lined with 8 statues of one of the pharaohs (sp?) & columns in between that just feels so Minas Tirithian... also at karnak, the paintings on some of the ceiling supports are PERFECTLY preserved - not even cracks. it's really incredible. also, we saw some of the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, & the egyptian museum. we also hung out in Cairo, & rode camels (could i go to egypt & NOT have?). and contrary to popular belief, egypt isn't that hot. of course, this is said by a Leo, born in a heat wave, who has now endured 18 TX summers.
started Sil a few days ago - really cool, but kind of comfusing how all of Finwe's descendants have such similar names. galadriel rules. Men repeat names (denethor, boromir... anyone else notice this?). gods, a lot has been going on here... Anduin - i'm from dallas Bmilder - what's Tolkien Trail? Thrawn96 - FAMILY GUY GOT CANCELED? *pulls out AK-47 & a few throwing daggers* BY WHO? IP & Thrawn96 - so the Canada Wars are over? gods, i leave for one week... Death of the Endless - woo-hoo! Sandman fan! one of my friends got me hooked about 3 months ago. incredible. do you read poison elves? if not, you should. Bmilder - so i have 6 or 7 posts before i become an elven warrior? alright! anyway, everyone have fun on their respective vacations! and BTW, egyptair is actually a good although crowded airline. aryne * |

Re: i'm back!
Yay! Welcome back! Sounds like you had a great time. I can't think of a more exotic place to vacation than in Egypt. It would be like meeting a famous person or something......you just don't think it's real til you see it for yourself. And riding a camel....how very cool! Hope you got a picture of that. Maybe you could post it.

re
Elven Warriors rule!
I sure do envy you your trip...it sounds like it was wonderful. I agree with anduin, if you have any pictures, I am sure that we would love to see them. I imagine that Egypt must have an almost magical feel to it, it is so very old and so much has happened there over the centuries |

i'm vegetarian
SO NO SPAM IN MY EGOTISTICAL LITTLE THREAD!
sorry... and egypt does have this incredible feel - sort of like floating-around remnants of old magic, if that makes any sense. I'M AN ELF! LET THE PEOPLE REJOICE! ok, this is enough egotism. aryne * |

Re: i'm vegetarian
Now I´m jealous. I have always wanted to go to Egypt but I have never got the chance to do so.
Anyway, I´m glad you had a good time. |
