The look on Nancy's face describes how you feel when you see this place. Ramesses II built it as a monument to himself and to show all the other peoples in the region how strong and mighty he was. No photos are allowed inside the monument. The wall carvings and statues inside depict aspects of life. Next to Rameses monument is one for Nefrititi -- his queen. Also incredible.
Flight back to NYC completely uneventful. Just my opinion here -- the US can learn a lot from Israeli security.
My Big Adventure
On the Balcony
I am finally having my semester abroad! Three months in Israel with side trips to Jordan, Petra, Egypt and wherever else the sand blows me. Along the way I will be blogging and posting pictures here of my adventures big and small!
