The weather on the boat sounds perfect. We hope that you were able to sleep with the rocking of the boat. What sounds can you hear at night on the Nile? The sixth grade says…

Everyone is happy and comes out on the streets. I am sure they would love to have the rain that you are experiencing in Jacksonville. We felt that it was the hottest weather so far when we were in Luxor. Temperatures reached up to 40 Degrees Celcius in the shade. I am sure they were even higher inside the tombs. On the cruise boat it was nice and windy. They had a shaded deck and it was simply wonderful to sit there and enjoy the breeze. There was a breeze as well when we visited the Aswan Dam. Mrs. Freyer,

It has rained for 2 days straight here in Jacksonville. There was flooding in some areas and Mrs. Bennett's restaurant flooded again. Maybe they could use some of our rain. What was the temperature in Luxor? Was it cooler on the boat? Was it windy on the dam? It is amazing that it only rains once a year in Egypt. It has rained for 2 days straight here in Jacksonville.

The prices were very high. For one small candle holder, the vendor wanted $50 American Dollars. We were not afraid on the Nile Cruise. We had a really good time on the boat, saw much impressive scenery and met really nice people from all over the world on the boat. Mrs. Gatling’s class,
