Egypt

Luxor
by Paul Otteson

Synopsis & Author Comment: One evening in Luxor, I was enjoying a thoroughly western drink beside a rooftop pool at one of the better hotels when I heard enchanting music echoing over the city. I bid my travel partners farewell for a time, and set off to find the source. I wound my way through the lanes of the city for about twenty minutes before I came upon an amazing concert. A small stage was set up in a little dead end.

I was inspired to write a poem -- which is always risky for a non-poet, but is a highly recommended pursuit for travelers of every stripe. To record the details of a travel experience on film or in a journal is easy. To capture the feel of the experience is more difficult and highly personal.

I spent several days in Luxor and can write a piece to suit any editorial need.
