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.
