The Pyramids!

Today we went and saw the Great Pyramids of Giza. You know, you can see those things in pictures and books, but you never really realize the work and effort that it took to build them. However, while there I did a little digging of my own and yes dad, I found that levitation device that the aliens used to put those ginormous blocks into place. I even bagged it up and I am calling it your Christmas present. Along with a few rocks from the pyramid of Cheops. ( Hey I am American, they expect that dont they?) We also found out that camels are probably the smelliest animal on the face of the earth. And the stink doesn't come off either. By the time we were done with our ride around the pyramids we felt as though the camels had ridden us. And who ever said the Sphinx was huge was wrong. A little disappointed, but still amazed. Oh, and by the way, Linda was right: I do look Arabic or so the Egyptian vendors tell me as they try to sell me their treasures. I guess it's a compliment? We stopped by the Cairo Museum that is right across from our hotel. Half of the worlds history sits in that one building at take it from me, once you have seen one mummy they all look the same. Literally tons and tons of history and it all looks the same. I would still recommend it on your next stop in Egypt. Now I am not going to lie to you, those Egyptians must have been lookers back in the day. Everything from combs to rings and all other sorts of jewelry is on display at the museum. Pretty impressive. By the way we are taking orders for sand and rocks. Yes, that will count as your Christmas present.
