"Dear Stella, Having a wonderful trip. The boat is fantastic and the food terrific - you'd love it. Very, hot - very smelly - very noisy in Cairo. Temperature in Aswan today 110°. See you soon."

Scene: Interior view of the Painted Chapel of King Thutmose III, dating back to the 18th Dynasty (c. 1450 B.C.). This artifact of Ancient Egyptian history was originally located at Deir el-Bahari and is now a prized exhibit in The Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
