Aswan – December 22nd

Praise the Lord, we are off the train & in a calmer clean environment!!!  The scenery in Aswan was beautiful! In this part of Egypt, they get rain about once every five years.  After showering, we headed to a Nubian Village to have lunch at a local families house & then to visit their school. I was a bit nervous to eat at the home but was reassured the food was safe – and after tasting it, I can say that it was very delicious!!!!!

Interesting sites we saw heading to the school……

The children were not in class at the time we visited but one of the Nubian teachers was more than happy to teach us a few things!
