West of the Nile, Luxor, Egypt


Above, my white-blonde-headed-friend Amie Ostler stands with a young Egyptian girl. Just one look at them makes my eyes pop--they're both so pretty! And talk about contrast! Behind them are the green fields adjacent to the Colossi of Memnon, but who's interested in the statues of some dead guy? Oh yeah-- me. :)


Statues of Amenhotep III, the Colossi of Memnon are the only remains of what once was the largest temple in Egypt. However as far as lasting interest goes, they're just rock; Amie and that sweetheart are knockouts.
