Egypt: Around Luxor

From Aswan, we took a train to Luxor. It was Orthodox Easter week, plus the ongoing Ramadan, and the temperature was 90+F, moving towards 102F. I began to learn to ignore all the negative aspects of traveling in Egypt, and really focus on being awed by all the temples and tombs.
