Balloons at Sunrise -- Deir el-Bahri

We got up and going well before Sunrise. At this time of year, Egypt gets pretty chilly, and it's doubly so in the morning. So we were all sitting on the tour bus, shivering and grumbling on the trip over.

Off to the side of the road, as we approached, we saw people filling up hot air balloons. Then, as we got into the parking lot and left the bus, we looked back in time to see the Sun rising..., along with the balloons.

If I wasn't petrified of heights, that would be a great way to spend a morning.
