now those are fantastic pics.

Welcome back Locutus... the piccies look absolutely amazing. An awesome vacation, indeed.

[Locutus]

There's dozens more pictures that are worth showing, but I've already posted more than I had planned to. I'll wrap things up with a picture of my family at a workers village just outside the Valley of the Kings: mom and dad on the left, sister and her boyfriend in the middle and me on the right.

Some of the Egyptian tombs and temples look like they've been painted only yesterday. This one (at the temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor) doesn't look nearly as spectular as some of the other paintings I've seen, but it's (understandably) one of the few we were actually allowed to take pictures of. Still not bad, considering it's almost 5,000 years old (and no restoration was ever done to it).

Me on a felucca (traditional Egyptian sailing ship) on the Nile near Luxor. Zop should recognize that shirt

[Locutus]

Probably the closest anyone will ever get to capturing a Fata Morgana on camera... (It looks far, far more spectacular when you see for yourself of course, it's an illusion after all)

[Locutus]

Taken from the High Dam in Aswan, with the Nasser Lake in the background (the largest artificial lake in the world, stretching well over 500 kms (300 miles) in length).

Yes, that's an Apolyton shirt I'm wearing

[Locutus]

Now tell me Egypt isn't a magnificent country...

[Locutus]

Me in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the colossus of Amenhotep III and Tyi in the background...

[Locutus]

I just returned from a trip to Egypt and I got hundreds of pictures I'd like to share, but I'll try to restrain myself a little

I have to say that Egypt is the most f*cking amazing country I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few already), even without all the pyramids and temples. If you ever have even the remotest opportunity, go there


Here's a sight I never thought I'd see: me as a Dutch cowboy on camelback (Those camels aren't nearly as smelly and gross 'in the wild' as they are in zoos and circuses -- they were actually an enjoyable ride)

Too bad that from this angle you can't see the Gizeh pyramids that were in the background...

See, one of reasons why smoking is hazardous to your health.

*gasp* a whole page went by without an Ozzy picture. I'll have to make sure that doesn't happen on this page.

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but watch out for Chicago. If this is the size of a cat, imagine what the rats look like.
