Egypt Day 5

My guesthouse in Aswan was a great place to meet people. Lynnell and John, from Minneapolis, are two of them. It turns out that they planned to hire a driver to take them to Luxor. I had planned to do that on Sunday, but asked them if I could join the, so we're off to Luxor today. We made arrangements to stop at two temples along the way.
The first one was the temple at Kom Ombo. This temple was at a place along the Nile where crocodiles basked. The temple is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek. The priests would keep one crocodile which become their intermediary to Sobek. When it died they mummified it and buried it with great honours. They replaced it with a young one, and they cycle continued.
There is a crocodile museum at the temple. Not too many of those around.
Our driver then took us to a local restaurant where we had a great meal..best I've had in Egypt, so far.
After lunch we visited the temple at Edfu, which is one of the best preserved temples in Egypt. One of the reasons is that it is a fairly "new" one, only a little over 2000 years old.
We arrived at Luxor at about 6. I decided to stay at the Nefertiti hotel, because that's where John and Lynnell are staying. We plan to do some guided tours together.
The weather has been fantastic, around 30, but no humidity, and nothing but sunshine.
