It’s been heating up over the last week and yesterday was a scorcher, with a hot dry wind out of the desert. How hot was it? My daughter has a fluffy white teddy bear that had turned gray from the general everyday grime of life in Cairo. I washed it last night and set it out on the drying rack outside.
Two hours later it was bone dry and fluffy again. Definitely good drying weather – if you like the crispy look.
I am going to be spending the day packing, preparing for our weekend trip to Luxor. It’s going to be even hotter there – up near 110F most days / 70sF at night. Our plan is to go out early in the morning and see one site, then return to the hotel and spend the afternoon in and around the swimming pool. Evening site seeing will also be an option – if we feel like it. Frankly, I’m ready for a little leisure.
I won’t be around, but don’t forget to stop by over the weekend. Heather Hiestand will be here talking about her book Two on the Hunt. Leave a comment for Heather and you could win a pdf copy of her book One Juror Down.
Have a great weekend!
Have a great trip, Jenyfer! I look forward to chatting with everyone in the comments Friday to Sunday.

have a wonderful week-end.
by Anita Birt April 24th, 2008 at 10:22 pmI love the heat and loved Egypt. Fantastic place to visit and try to see all the wonderful sights. Also like Heather’s blog. Now I’m wondering, is it possible to write a good book unless the plot makes you think. I don’t think it is. Jean
