Just arrived in Luxor at about 6 a.m. yesterday morning--10:45 p.m. flight from Paris to Cairo, 5 a.m. flight to Luxor. Exhausted but happy! It's always good to come back "home".
Slept most of yesterday, but did manage a couple of photos of my first close encounter of the cat kind, with Buttons!
After doing a bit of unpacking yesterday (in between deep sleep sessions!) and this morning, I made my way to my office and started the procedure for preparing the library for opening, probably late next week. After lunch, I took these photos of the flora of CH (since I had taken the fauna shots yesterday!):

| Milk and Wine Lilies... |

| ...fill the foyer with the most wonderful fragrance! |

| The breezeway garden at the beginning of the season |
See you soon...

I look forward to your posts every year. I only wish I could spend more time in Luxor. I feel almost as home there as I do in Prague. Hope to see you in February.

It's good to hear from you, Marshall! I hope we will see each other in February too!
DeleteI've never seen a polka dotted kitty before ��. Here's a toast to your 11th season �� I look forward to your always-delightful posts.
ReplyDeleteAn appropriate name, don't you think, Amanda? I'll drink to your toast and I thank you for visits and comments!
DeleteGood to see Chicago House opening again. I live in Luxor most of the year, home country is UK. I have studied Egyptology at Manchester University and volunteer for the South Asasif Conservation Project in the summer. I wondered if you took volunteers for the library?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit! We are currently fully staffed with my assistant and a volunteer, but if you'll drop me a line at mebryan@usa.net I'll keep your interest on file. You never know!
DeleteHi Marie, so good to see you're getting settled. As always, the pictures are wonderful. I look forward to future posts. Take care and we'll "see" you on the flipside. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Meg! Thanks! And you take care too!
