Egypt Short Blogs

We made it back from Egypt all safe and sound. It was an amazing trip! My sister is hanging out in Lenkeran for a couple of days, so we will be on tour mode and then I will go into major recovery mode for the weekend. This week I’m going to put a short Top Ten style blog and will write a massive Egypt blog to post next week. Pictures will come slowly and in spurts.
