The Alabaster Factory (aka "Tourist Trap")
Surprise, surprise, our guide escorted us to an alabaster factory that just happened to be located in a small village right outside the Valley of the Kings. We did watch them carve alabaster vases by hand, and were assured that the prices here were fair and the products superior...
Naturally, following a demonstration of the primitive techniques handed down through the generations, we were invited into the factory's "little shop!"
Where Bob proceeded with his FAVORITE activity in the Arab world, haggling over the best deal for all the cool stuff we bought!
Life Is One Adventure After Another!
I started this blog page as a way to keep everyone up to date on Bob while he was working over in Egypt, and to share our wonderful travel experiences. Now that he's back home, I'll still post family updates once in awhile, as well as items of potential interest from the Decatur front... Life's little adventures continue... ;-)
Love,
Nana
