12/365: Egypt

To those of you that really know me; you know I have always dreamed of going to Egypt. Over the past 33 years it has always held my attention and my heart. I love everything about Egypt; the history, the people, the culture and the religions. In the last year the desire to go has gotten so much worst after watching my hero Dr. Hawass on "Chasing Mummies" and reading Elizabeth Peter's novel's. Elizabeth Peters writes a series about an Egyptologist family living in the early 1900's. The Emerson's has exciting adventures while excavating tombs in Egypt. There are 19 total books, I am on book 8 and I am fully addicted. It is the perfect mixture of Egypt and mystery. We all have places we dream of going, well Egypt is mine. I have planning my Egypt trip since I was a kid. Everything from where to stay(Shepherd's hotel); to where to eat (Aqura Restaurant), even where to get a authentic cup of Joe(Africano). I want to see every monument and ancient city, but there are two places that I most see Abu Simbel and Amarna. I know one day Eric and I will sail down the Nile with our children while mommy points out all the monuments and gives a history of that place, What a wonderful thought!
Goodnight all; See ya'll tomorrow
