The first week in Egypt and after a successful crossing of Lake Nassar above Aswan dam, a three day journey, Mike is taking his first look at the temple of Ramsis II at Abe Simbel.  He’s only 35 miles from the southern most border of Egypt which is the Sudan.  This is what is called upper Egypt as the source of the Nile that forms Lake Nassar comes from central Africa througy Cairo and ends up in the Meditranian Sea.  He seems a bit excited about the visit as he’s heard some of the statures have lost their heads.
