Many people bring cartouches home from Egypt. When you see them on the walls at temples they are oblong carvings filled with hieroglyphics giving information about the luminaries.
Some people buy cartouche necklaces with their names in hieroglyphics. Others buy imitations of the temple walls. I bought a key chain just for the memory. I wasn't much into buying things on this trip. Seeing the antiquities satisfied.
Read the last of the tweets from Egypt to the right. (At this point you should go to twitter.com/boldlygosolo and scroll down to the first two weeks of February to read about Egypt.)
Coming soon, photos of the people of Egypt and the temples and tombs and feluccas and the Nile and more. Just as soon as I go through some of my 1,500-plus photos. Yikes!
