Pyramids and camels
I have had trouble getting a good connection. And cannot upload any pictures. Will work on that. We are in a hotel in Cairo at the base of the Pyramids of Giza. Yesterday we visited another group of Pyramids that are ignored by most tourists. We were allowed to go inside--not an easy feat but worth today's sore muscles. Cairo is a huge city of 20 million and appears to work in a rather chaotic fashion. Yesterday on our way to the pyramids we passed many farmers with their various crops on the side of the road. Would loved to have been able to pull over to take pictures of the large cauliflower and bunches of carrots and beets. Also the large numbers of donkey pulled carts laden with alfalfa that probably have been used for hundreds of years. I wish I could show pictures of Sandy on a camel--tomorrow more pyramids.

Jack agrees with your assessment of Cairo. We are disappointed not to see any photos yet but you'll get it figured out, I'm sure. All is fine here on the third day of an uneventful MLK weekend. We are glad to hear from you. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteA few questions from the Kerr boys:
ReplyDeleteReid: "You said you had sore muscles from getting into the pyramid. Why was it so hard to get in? Also, who is your favorite pharaoh and least favorite pharaoh?"
Charlie: "Maybe you'll see a mummy that roots for the Beavers. Could you make a sand castle there?"
