We were stuck at the Esna dam which was closed
for maintainance from 9 to 1, so they arranged
alternative transportation for us to
get to the temple
( they let me drive the carriage back so it was quite an adventure ).
When we arrived, there was the usual trip through the souk
The temple is very impressive
for its walls

Also impressive were the columns which showed the Greco-Roman style
and the ceiling which among other things showed the signs of the
Zodiac
A minaret in the background
provides a wonderful contrast to the temple.
While at the temple, we took the almost obligatory picture
of Suzanne taking a picture of the rest of us
had Napoleon, our tour guide, take a picture of all of us
but we forgot to tell him that the camera doesn't advance film and so got 3
and took a picture of Napoleon with the children.
