Aswan, more ancient ruins and a Dam.

The Nile river is B E A uuuutiful here in Aswan!  You can really see why the early people settled here.  The fertile shore and the beautiful river.  The sun is stifling hot, but the shade is so pleasant.

Today we visited a few more sights and are winding down to our Egyptian departure tomorrow.  We will be headed to our most southern destination.  Abu Simbel where colossal statues up to 20 meters high are located.  These statues are for Ramses II.  Last stop.

But I'm ahead of myself.  Today, the kids are lack luster and would like to vege.  We went on a boat ride that was suppose to be 2 hours, we told our guide Hassan 1.5 hour and thankfully we finished in 45 minutes.
