Friends Reunited
Diana Craig Patch, Janice Kamrin, Jan Picton, Ivor Pridden
We are very happy to announce our arrival back “home” on the West Bank. Our respective planes landed at the Luxor airport late on Monday night, and we spent most of Tuesday visiting the East Bank Taftish and our friend Ray Johnson at Chicago House, and organizing supplies back at our hotel. In the late afternoon, we decided to take a walk to reintroduce this season’s photographer, Ivor (also known as Jan’s husband) to the local landscape, which has changed a lot in the fifteen years since he was last here. We walked up past the Colossi of Memnon at Kom el-Hettan, then down the Qurna road to the Ramesseum. To start out our blog for the 2019 season, we thought we’d share some of the photos we took along the way.









*We want to express our sorrow at the loss of Hourig’s beloved husband and our great colleague, Rainer Stadelmann.
great pictures, thank you. Hope you have a fantastic season!
