I split up the photos into 2 albums: one covering the eclipse in Saloum, and one covering the time spent on the Nile checking out ancient Egypt. </p> <a href="http://www.jumphook.com/gallery/egypt1"> <img src="http://www.jumphook.com/albums/egypt1/DSC00845_1.highlight.jpg" align="left" />New Photo and Video Album Posted</a><br /><br /> <p><b>Four and one-half minutes.</b> We travelled 5600 miles to the Egypt-Libya border to witness four and one-half minutes of the moon passing between the earth and the sun such that it completely blocked out direct sunlight. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen and done -- I'm glad to have shared it with the best of friends! </p> <br /> <hr /> <br /> <a href="http://www.jumphook.com/gallery/egypt2"> <img src="http://www.jumphook.com/albums/egypt2/20060326_Canon_0032.highlight.jpg" align="right" />New Photo and Video Album Posted</a><br /><br /> <p> The second week of our Egypt trip: Visiting the mummy of King Tutankhamen (King Tut) himself, buying fake student IDs in Cairo, cruising for 3 days up the Nile, visiting ancient temples and pyramids, geocaching in the low mountains of the Sahara, bathing in the Red Sea, and of course washing it all down with some cold Stella brew. </p> <cc:by work="photo and video album" />
