Remember, remember  the 5th of November. Seems like this place never fails to intrigue and baffle us, doesn't it?

[Not that she minds. Anything that can catch and hold her interest is usually a welcome distraction from those few days when there's nothing except boredom awaiting her]

Never a boring moment.  Although it's not my most favorite of

I can't say that I ever tried that. [ Clearly she never went to Egypt with the right people? ]

[hullo_sweetie]

[Clearly. River would remedy that if she could]

I'd recommend it. It's breathtaking.

[longaevus]

Perhaps then on my next visit. [ Yes, even alone. Besides, she prefers the views from roofs ]

[hullo_sweetie]

You've been to Egypt?

[longaevus]

On more than one occasion.

[hullo_sweetie]

Oh, that's fantastic! The Pyramids are my favorite place to visit. I preferred to see them when they were freshly finished.

[longaevus]

I went once with Nikola on a search for the tomb of Tutankhamen.

[hullo_sweetie]

Did you find it? Oh, that was the archaeological find of the century! They were still talking about it in the 52nd century when I was studying for my degree.

[longaevus]

We spent five years looking for it before Howard Carter did so.

[hullo_sweetie]

Oh? Well....that's the luck of the draw I guess.

[longaevus]

It's possibly more fortunate that we weren't the ones to find it.

[hullo_sweetie]

I heard about the deaths.

[longaevus]

We'd left before they occurred. Tragedies, nonetheless.

[hullo_sweetie]

Tragedies or a curse.

[longaevus]

Any death is a tragedy.

[hullo_sweetie]

Some say those deaths were related to an ancient curse.
