My Mother's Day.....Egyptian Style!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Yesterday was Mother's Day here in Egypt and since I can't really send you anything, I'll put up a picture of a gift for you. Happy Mother's Day (Egyptian style). Love you Mom!

My trip to Giza.....

Okay, so I know that you are awaiting the decision on where I will be heading for the break. Unfortunately, I haven't decided yet! Jordan sounds okay (and it's cheap). Cyprus sounds alright as well (however, not so cheap). To be honest, I haven't decided yet. Sorry!

In the meantime, I finally made it too the Pyramids of Giza. The last surviving of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids were pretty cool to see in person. Looking back on it, it's almost unreal that I have actually been there and actually touched the Pyramids. Awesome.

The whole experience in its self was interesting. The fact that there are a ton of souvenir salesmen wandering around really takes away and cheapens the experience. Also there are a bunch of guys that want to take you on a camel or horse ride.....which was fun, don't get me wrong, but after an hour on a camel, my butt hurt.....badly.

Overall though it is an amazing site to see. The Sphinx was smaller than I thought, but it was still pretty cool. I went with a friend from school and her daughters, so I teased her about the size of the Sphinx. I believe I said it was as big as two school buses, from front to back. Obviously it was a little bigger, but not much.

AND sadly, as predicted when I was able to upload the one picture from the Pyramids, now I can't upload anymore. I'm doing this at home, so I guess I should have expected it.
