Here By Glimpses Known
We've sadly been unable to explore much of the Egyptian desert due to instability in the country and safety restrictions imposed by J's work. On a trip to Fayoum, however, we went to Wadi Al-Hitan (Valley of the Whales), a World Heritage Site, and spent a night camping surrounded by fennec foxes.
Junebug was only 7weeks old at the time, so it was a speedy visit. Camping with a 3-yr old and a newborn in a 2-person tent = interesting, but not worth repeating unless strictly necessary. :P
Whale fossils in Wadi Al-Hitan
The whole area was once a lagoon with an extensive mangrove:
Photo with J to give you an idea of the size of the sandstone formations:
Humpbacks, shooting the breeze. :P
Oh, and what the heck, why not a camping pic and one of a fox:
