I hear you on the walking dollar sign syndrome that seems to be so pervasive throughout touristy areas in any part of the world. I found it particularly offensive in Luxor, and was happy to escape from there. I didn't have enough time in Aswan to have the same experience you did, but that's because Heater and I were walking around half dead from our marathon trip from Dahab to Abu Simbal and then to Luxor all within 24 hours. Yikes! Glad to hear you had a delightful time on the Felucca ride. That was my favorite part about Aswan! I've been loving reading about your Egyptian adventures, thanks for being so faithful to posting! Gah!
