Karnak in Luxor, Egypt

Today we visited the Karnak Temple Complex, which was the main place of worship in the 18th Dynasty. But before we even got into Karnak, we were mobbed by kids asking where we are from, what our names are, and asking, "photo?". Wren performed rope tricks while I posed for pictures with them.

The entrance was lined with these great animal sculptures.

Inside Karnak were statues and carvings.

 

Strange figures.

Hieroglyphs/pictographs.

 

Huge, tall columns.

Giant structures and statues... these on the right are just the legs!

Broken stuff that used to be huge and tall

Us trying to capture the right moments.

And generally having a good ol' time.

There were always a gaggle of dudes there trying to show us around, or tell us things about the place for money, which was definately distracting and quite annoying, but in the quiet moments together, we took in the solid peacefulness of all.
