I hope this doesn't end up as a description of your Christmas or New Year. I was simply trying to describe being back in Luxor today. Yesterday, it felt great turning the gate's lock to enter Villa Diletta. Returning to our familiar home for the winter was comforting. Today, though, will mostly be composed of all the trivial things which must be done after a few days away. Uploading 80 pictures to Flickr isn't going to be as fun as taking them.
Washing clothes is another example that comes to mind. It's not hard but it's definitely not as much fun as a holiday adventure.
