My job in Abydos

Can you imagine, this is where I get to work? I get to not only work in one of the oldest adobe structures in the world, but I also get to hike in sand dunes that tower over like sky scrapers, run down and wonder along escarpments with the largest sand dunes I have ever seen.

This area is along the escarpment to the west, it part of Umm el-Qaab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umm_el-Qa'ab) an area worshipped by the ancient Egyptians and directly linked to the Shunet el Zibib. It is situated betweeen two wadi's, both of which I have hiked in (Arabic: وادي‎ wādī)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi).

I am so fortunate to see and work here everyday!
