Luxor and Cairo Egypt
32
A big thank you to Annmarie and Ganun at Horses&Hieroglyphs based on the West bank of Luxor in Egypt.
Their successful work in rescuing and rehabilitating maltreated horses is both inspiring and overwhelming.
I am grateful for the education gained and for riding these spicy but trustworthy Baladi stallions and mares.
The extra speedy galloping gear and the welcoming nature of Egyptians were pure pleasure.
Of course I have to include a few shots from the streets of Crazy Cairo where I spent a few days feeling totally alive :)

Best not to enter the pyramid if you suffer from claustrophobia :)
