From the Journals… Aswan, Egypt. April 4, 1989
We walked through the Nubian village to the other side of the island. A young boy showed us where to get the boat to Kitchner’s Island. We wandered around there, shooting some pix. It was quiet everywhere except for the mobs at the souvenir concessions. We took the same boat back to Elephantine Island, and then another ferry to the Aswan side. We went to see a performance of Nubian folk dancing, which was really great. The drum beats, call and refrain, and the ululations made me want to get up and dance with them. The smiling black faces and bodies ready to respond to music make me eager to return to Black Africa, and sorry that I won’t be visiting Sudan this time around.
