Luxor Bound

We're headed to Luxor again, this time just for the night. Chicago House holds an annual Halloween party that simply can't be missed. Thankfully, they moved it to Thursday so that we could come (since we have Friday off, we can drive back that day and not miss any work). Pictures of tonight's adventure will be forthcoming, but I thought I'd give you some more pictures from the last time we were in Luxor.

The first three are from Medinet Habu, a temple that offers a lot of good scenes for Egyptologists to recreate. It really is important to bring the scenes to life in order to better be able to understand them. (Note: If you're my facebook friend, some of these will look familiar) :P

Always the smitee, never the smiter.

Bound Sea Peoples captives.

Getting trampled by Pharaoh Jonathan.

This last one is just a fun one we took on our hike over the gebel. We're 200 feet in the air, why not jump around a bit?
