out of reach

Internet in Egypt is quite sparse.  Short and sweet entry here with no photos at this time.  Soon to come I hope though.  I've been in the desert oasis, Siwa for the past 2 days trying to arrange a 4x4 trip to Bahariha oasis near Bawiti.  The trip was 6 hours and went through the desert with paved road for about 1/4th of the way.  The rest was driving on the dunes.  Amazing journey.  No plants, birds, other cars, nothing...just us and the sand.  Got some great photos from this.  We stopped about midway for lunch and everywhere you look is littered with seashells, in the middle of the desert.  Tomorrow I'm off on a 3 day/night camping trip back into the desert so I will be out of cell range until Saturday evening.  This should be good.  Again, photos to come afterwards....
