Update

So it turns out we had an extra day in Delhi, and we decided to have another adventure. Delhi Haat is a souk, bazaar, market, cultural attraction. It's filled with things to buy from every province of India, and it kept our interest for most of the day. Then we were whisked off to the airport, and landed in Dubai at around 11pm.
Pleasant surprise Dubai. We stayed in the old Dubai, and spent our time on Dubai Creek, walking, watching the boats, checking out an architectural museum, experiencing the market, and eating, yes once again, some fine food right on the creek. Originally scheduled as a stopover where we could recharge, it became a destination.
Up at 4 am, we were once again at the airport. J&J are now safely in Paris, in their apartment, while I am in a hotel in Cairo, after a day at the Pyramids. Maybe Judith will write some impressions of our visit, which turned out to be a bit surreal, due to the haze. We actually climbed up, then climbed into one of them. We had to go down a narrow stone passage, for about 10 minutes, practically on our knees - very, very low. My claustrophobia, almost made me turn around. Once inside it was very hard to breathe, so we made the trek out again. As Judith said, we are glad we did it, but wouldn't do it again anytime soon - especially if it were more crowded, as the guide told us it usually is. Of course, it was awesome to be there - "awe" is the right word for these wonders.
Now, back from our dinner at l'Aubergine, I am faced with repacking for 3 nights in Upper Egypt - Aswan, Luxor, and Abu Simbel. The alarm is set for 2am, and the taxi will be here at 2:30. Crazy, but that's just the way they do it. We fly at 4 am, so bonne nuit.
But before I let you go - I'm looking forward to some new music from you, Joel. Betty, I'm very aware of the employment situation in the US. It's hit most of the countries we've visited, too. But it's still weird to see so few tourists everywhere we go. Don'tknow if there will be any internet access in Upper Egypt, so J&J - a vous? Comment ca va a Paris?
