Our ongoing series of tourists doing or wearing, shall we say…interesting things. Some will make you guffaw, some will cause you to bellow in annoyance, and some will make you want to find these folks and forcibly take their passports. This one, taken at Deir el Bahri, gave me pause because not only is she wearing a rather wrong outfit, but she’s also leaning quite casually on painted relief. Nice. Looks like she’d be rather more at home tailgating or hanging out on a bass boat…
