Good news when we take our dogs with us …

Chris and Deborah and their tour group rode in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings. Chris said the baskets could hold 32 people. At our balloon fiesta the biggest baskets hold only 12 people.

Afterwards they went to a private home and Deborah was given instructions on how to make their bread.

They’re in Cairo now. After three days sightseeing there, they will fly home on Friday.

Deborah said Chris helped all the stragglers board their ship.

They woke at 4:15 AM for one of their stops.

The temple at Edfu.

Just some of the other ships on the Nile.

While waiting to go through a lock, vendors came up in their boats.

These vendors caught their eye.

And they bought this tablecloth and napkins.

Luxor Temple.

Avenue of the Sphinxes, almost two miles long.

Two more Sphinxes to add to the Avenue of Sphinxes.

Finally, Red Sails In The Sunset.

Since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, let’s start with this. Betty? Maybe next year? …

I would rather watch this again than the Super Bowl half time show last Sunday …

Sad to see. Betty and my first date included eating onion rings at a Shoney’s Big Boy after a movie …

I long for the good old days when it was considered unethical for lawyers to advertise …

Nope …

Makes sense to me. I love eating potato chips dipped into Miracle Whip …

Good memories …

I think I used this several years ago, but still funny …

Yeah, it is weird …

Always good to be grapefruit …

So true …

Jonah probably slept on the couch that night …

The last three are for my in-laws in Santa Rosa, Florida. Is there something in the water that Florida women drink? Supposedly true headlines, but I wonder about the first one. How did she find a manatee in a bikini? …

I would have paid to see this …

When we lived in Florida during my time in the Navy, we found this to be true …

Chris and Deborah landed at the city of Kom Ombo on Valentine’s Day. There were a lot of ships docked there as well.

Chris and Deborah celebrating Valentine’s Day. The shadow is from Chris’ phone as he was taking this selfie.

Amazing Egyptian structure.

Deborah before a hieroglyphic frieze. It appears there may be a couple embracing on the right side. Perhaps appropriate for Valentine’s Day?

The harbor at night.

Mummified crocodiles. Perhaps they already had plenty of crocodile hide handbags and didn’t need these.
