Charlie explores the land of pharaohs
Hi everyone! Guess where I was in this picture! I was invited to go with some friends on a cruise down the Nile. The Nile is the big river that flows through the land of Egypt.

The first thing I did was make some new friends who could help me understand how to read this history. These two rock carvers were both really nice! They helped me a lot. I'd tell you their names,
