| Introduction | Hi, I’m Su and this blog is an extra to my website about the archaeological sites of Egypt: Egyptian Monuments. I live in Cornwall, UK, and as much as I love it here I also love to get away once or twice a year to Egypt. I am passionate about the history of Egypt and its archaeology and my main hobby is photography. Over the past sixteen years of travelling around Egypt I have taken thousands of photographs – re-visited the sites over and over to get that perfect picture. Now I’ve graduated to digital images and that’s my excuse for visiting all my favourite places all over again. In 1995 I started a journal of each trip. The first visit of course made the biggest impression on me, but I kept writing each time I went there and this is what this blog is about. It’s a record of my visits, how the country has changed over the years and a bit of history about the sites thrown in. There will also be many photographs which don’t appear on my other website, to give a taste of the country rather than just the Egyptian Monuments. I hope you enjoy reading it! |
