Rene came to visit at the beginning of February. Unfortunately, things got off to a rough start because of an incompetent airline (United), who had continuous delays without any bad weather conditions and caused Rene to arrive in Cairo a day late, after being on the road (so to speak) for nearly two days. However, things improved from there.
I whisked the dazed traveler off on the next available flight to Aswan, where I had planned some work and some vacationing for us. We stayed in the a cheap but nice budget hotel called Keylany, from which we did not have a Nile view, but nice staff, a clean and quiet room, and a fun roof terrace. Besides, Rene doesn't need a Nile view to take dozens of photographs.
It is amazing what he can do for an old, fabric flower on the breakfast table or a hotel hallway with that camera .
Later that day, we headed out in search of the taftish (local SCA office), before doing a little sightseeing. More later...
