So last week we tried to go to Meroe to see the pyramids. I went with a small group (Connelly's and Jon) and we drove up north a couple hours. When we got to a checkpoint and gave them our passports we were denied entry. No matter the negotiations they wouldn't let us pass. Somehow we didn't have the right permits even though we checked with our security liason before leaving. So after an hour of that we drove 1/2 way back to Khartoum and camped near the cool rock mountains.
It was sooooo wonderful to get out of the city. I forget how much I love to just be in nature, in the quiet away from noise and buildings and lots of people. It was a full moon so the night was bright and there were cool rocks everywhere for us to climb. We had fun with the slow shutter speed camera, a tripod and flashlights. Check out the pictures!
We will try for Meroe again, in 2 weeks. This time with the correct permits!
As we say here in Khartoum...you never have an adventure unless you leave he house! How true it is~

sometimes alternate plans make for a better time than the original ones. the slow speed shutter pictures on FB are pretty cool.
