The Pyramids at Giza

After about three hours of sleep, we set out to see the pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx. It was pretty incredible. It was surprising to see the pyramids almost adjoining the city. They also get more and more massive as you get closer and see the scale of the giant slabs of stones used to make them. We also got to go inside the sendond largest one, ride a camel and see the Sphinx. Mohammed, our guide was brilliant, and kept us going long past the point of exhaustion! We ended the day at the papyrus factory.

Anisa and I.
That pyramid was huge!
Anisa sitting at the bottom. I don't think we were supposed to do that.
Anisa and I riding a camel. She was very scared when it got up and went down.
Anisa and I waving to her mom, who was taking the picture.
This boy had been to Egypt before and so it didn't bother him.
Anisa screaming.
Some people held on to the back of the saddle when going up.
Same thing.
Waving people.
A person from our group getting a picture with a dude. Seems like she didn't like it.
A camel (with no person).
Me getting a picture with a police officer.

Paul (the young one) and his dad.
Here we are at the place just next to the sphinx. I think it was used for mummifing pharoahs.
Anisa and Linda being tired.
Anisa in front of the sphinx. There was a huge ledge to go on since you couldn't go down to it.
The Sphinxe's behind.
The Sphinx with a pyramid in the back.
This was at the papyrus shop.
This man showed us how the ancient egyptians made papyrus paper. He was from around Texas (a lady in our group forced him to tell us. It was funny).
A beautiful papyrus painting. Amazing colors.

We had a little air conditioned van to go places.
