We are now on day two in Luxor...actually only day one as yesterday was a travel day. Spent the day on Karnak Temple site. Just simply overwhelming. We used a 70 year old guide to take us around the site and then went around again on our own after some lunch. We have our guide booked for tomorrow for the Valley of the Kings, etc. It will be a 6 hour day and no doubt hot as we will be out in the desert.
We are trying to insert a mid-day break into each day where we swim in the pool and cool down. Having the pool is a real blessing.
I am not going to text more at this time as I am trying to get photos up...so hopefully tonight will be successful?????
Still having a great time and had one of our best meals tonight...seafood (fish) from the Red Sea.
Hello to all who are following!

You will need to look at the bottom of the posts as I did not get these two photos in the right spot. Will try again over the next couple of days and place them differently.
