Aswan and Better Living Through Chemistry

Aswan is a fabulous city. Clean. Nice people. Great market. And a lot to see and do.
But I will simply have to take everyone’s word for this because I am stuck in the hotel room-SICK. Yes, I ate or drink something that did not agree with me and I am stuck. I tried to “suck it up” yesterday but the heat makes me double over with cramps and and one can’t have a good time when one is crying like a little girl.

So far I have missed: The camel ride, dinner at the Nubian village, swimming, and Abu Simdal. But I am feeling better and I figure that the felucca ride should be fairly painless as all I have to do is lay around on the boat.

Still, this bites!

You ALWAYS get sick when you travel. What is up with that? Totally awsonot (see previous post's comments for explanation ;)

Hope the rest of your trip is less viral.

Oh! No! I'm so sorry to hear that! My great-aunt got sick from putting milk in her coffee when she and my mom were in Egypt. We assume it was the milk in the coffee b/c that is the ONLY thing that our aunt consumed that my mom didn't.

OH, sad! But think of it this way--you got your Kufu's Revenge over quickly, and now can enjoy the rest. At least you didn't miss Petra! (SO jealous!)
