It's About Time!

Well, despite the craziness at the JFK airport, I did make it back to Cairo safe and sound, and just in time to ring in the New year! And, much to everyone's delight, I FINALLY made it out to the Pyramids!!! On Friday after church, Tony, Courtney, Justin, Clemente and I all piled in the car with Mustafa to drive out to the Camel Market (kind of like a 'Farmer's Market' except with Camels). On the way, it came up that Clemente and I had never been to the Pyramids, so Tony decided it was about time! First we stopped by the Camel Market, it was quite the adventure...

"You lookin at me?"

THE PYRAMIDS!
I have to say, they are pretty spectacular!

Oh the fun you can have with a Camera...

This is one of the Queen's pyramids with the city of Cairo in the background
(In my opinion, the Queen's got totally jipped!)

Me and Courtney sitting on the Pyramid...just to give you an idea of how incredibly HUMONGOUS they are!

And no trip to the Pyramids would be complete without seeing the amazing Sphinx!

And on the way home, we got stuck in a traffic jam...behind some Camels!

And Here's an example of "Curbside Camel Parking"

Needless to say, it's been a fun and adventurous few days back! But then again, pretty much every day in Cairo proves to hold some sort of adventure!
