Travel: Nile Cruise, Luxor and Abu Simbel

http://www.dailyherald.com/travel/story.asp?id=321340
Part two of Kathy Rodegheir's description of her visit to Egypt, this week taking in Abu Simbel and Luxor, via a Nile cruise: " Ramses II is what you might call a hunk. That commanding stare, those square shoulders, that taut torso and that copper-toned body all scream male machismo.And it helps that he's nearly 66 feet tall - sitting down.The statues of the famous pharaoh at Abu Simbel, a popular day trip for passengers cruising the Nile, take your breath away. Built to give fair warning of his power to the Nubians, and anyone entering Egypt from the south, Ramses' temple continues to wow foreigners some 3,000 years later."
Unfortunately, something appears to have gone badly wrong with the formatting, so that text runs together without any paragraphs or bullet points. As she has adopted a Q and A format in this piece, it is quite a struggle on the eyes to get through.
