Luxor and Paris


We're in Paris right now. We went to Luxor for 3 days before we left Cairo. There we saw many obelisks like the one in the picture from the Temple of Karnak. We also visited the tombs of the pharaohs and sailed on the Nile. Today we saw the Eiffel Tower and took elevators all the way to the top, 1000 feet off the ground. We also saw the Arc De Triomphe and Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens and Place de la Concorde, where they had an obelisk "gift" from Luxor Temple given to Louis Phillipe by Mohammed Ali. I'm completely tired of my parents taking pictures of me, so I didn't include any pictures of myself! Bye for now and I'll write more later, Sami

  1. Samia,

    You are one lucky girl! I am so envious! Are you taking lots of pictures of your parents, to get even with them? I want to see a slide show when you get home. We miss you guys!
