Hotel California - the true Egyptian national anthem

Hello people! I hope everyone's Christmas didn't involve a bag-snatcher like mine, but I hope it did include laughs, love and chocolate pudding, also like mine.

I'm having to leave Egypt early for family reasons, unfortunately. Since I'm catching a flight today I don't have time for a proper post, so I'm going to leave you with some photos. All I want to say is that this trip exceeded any expectation of what I thought it would be. It's renewed and inspired me archaeologically, it's introduced me to people who will remain with me a lifetime, it's scared me and challenged me and admonished me and rewarded me. Based on the suddenness of my return, I feel like I'm going to be a bit lost for a while, still sifting through it all in my mind. But I wanted to say thanks for sharing some of the journey with me, I hope you've enjoyed it even a fraction as much as I have.

Lots of love to you all x
