Dear Dragonheart, Mom says she couldn't run a marathon if her life depended on it, so she thinks YOUR mom is the cat's meow.
Mom loves the pictures. Thanks for sharing. When she takes PlusOne to the Museum of Fine Arts, she will tell your mom all about it.

Those are cool pictures of your Mom and Dad at Karnak. Egypt is such a great place to see all the pyramids and of course Sphinxes!
Isn't it amazing that this was ever accomplished, and more, that it still stands! Just incredible.
Gosh that's amazing. What a trip!!!! I bet they'll never forget all of the amazing things they saw.

Yep, our Mommy is drooling again over your pictures. They are very nice and Mommy has always wanted to go to Egypt. We say that a soceity who worshiped kitties cannot be all that bad!
The ancient Egyptians were an amazing people. What pretty things they built and carved with no power tools!
Is this one of the temples where cats would have been worshipped and been fanned and fed stinky goodness and catnip? That is how I like to picture it...
That is soo cool! We love seeing your pictures! We can pretend we are there.
