Cairo is awesome. It is very different. The city is full of dirt, and dust, and rubble -- but is still nice. There are 20 million people that live in Cairo. That is twice as many as in New York. People in America would probably not want to live here.
We have a great tour guide that we are using for this part of the trip. His name is Sam and he is from Egypt. We are also with two other families. Fin (10) is from Australia and Reese (7) and Radika (8) are from America, but living in Jordan.
We went to see the pyramids, the sphinx and rode through the desert on a camel. The Pyramids are huge and the sphinx is puny compared to the pyramids. Camel riding is very fun. They have very big take offs and landings, but other than that - they are really quite nice. I can't wait to see more.
So glad to see you're posting on your blog! Loved all the Egypt pictures - particularly your description and picture on the camel! What was it like? Also, "swimming in the Nile!" - WOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and family are having a great time - I do miss all of you - school's been closed for 3 days this week (snow) - know you didn't have snow in Egypt!
Love,
Nonni
