Egypt 2001

My son and his wife, both professors, spent several months during the spring in Rome, Italy.
My daughter-in-law, a classicist, wanted to take the opportunity to visit Egypt. Their son and I were lucky enough
to go too. Our trip began in April, 2001

My friends Ruth and her late husband Fritz Saenger put us in touch with their granddaughter
Katherine, who was visiting her husband Don Sparks in Egypt. By e-mail Katherine introduced us to
Presidential Nile Cruises. PNC provided us with an excellent itinerary,
comfortable accomodations and very pleasing and competent guides and drivers thoughout
our stay in Egypt. You are advised, however, to deal with PNC through a travel agent outside Egypt,
as communication, except by voice telephone, is not reliable.

I took almost all of these pictures with an Olympus C2020Z digital camera. Those on the West Bank at Luxor were by Nico Foley, my grandson with his father's Canon A50
