New Vistas

Having visitors opens up new vistas. Dad asked if there was a rooftop restaurant where we could have lunch and I recalled friends telling me that the St. Joseph Hotel has a nice place for lunch. Wow! I wish I had gone long before now. The view over east Luxor is funny for all the satellite dishes. The importance of television in Luxorian life is conspicuous.

And the view to the West is breathtaking -- particularly in the strong wind that was blowing. We could even see our home . . .

. . .  there among the palms and banana groves, with the tombs of the nobles as a background.
